Fingers and Toes

I have made the most astonishing discovery: hands and feet have fingers and toes attached! As anyone who has ever made my acquaintance surely must know, I am an avid practitioner of the solid foot stomp and the slam fist. These are good wholesome activities that energize the hale and hearty soul. But as of late I have re-examined my hands and feet and found that they are comprised of smaller, more delicate appendages that can be used for more intricate forays into the realms of mischief.

Fingers, say hello to Toes

Using these wonderful new weapons I find that grabbing, crumpling, tearing, and throwing have all become much more effective. When kicking with a foot it is also possible to grab on to the target and pull it closer for additional damage. And when the mayhem ceases, fingers and toes can spend some time together reminiscing about the swath of destruction left in their wake.

Reading is an excellent past time

Oh Yes?

Oh Yes?

I have been spending much of my free time, such as it is, perusing an excellent library of arctic fiction provided for my education and amusement by my parents. As you may observe in the photograph above, I enjoy the hands-on approach to my reading, grabbing the polar bear by the nose, so to speak, and tugging the story right off of the pages.

In my reading I have found stories that make one cry, and stories that make one laugh. I much prefer the latter.

That was a good one!

That was a good one!

Here you can see me telling a rousing tale to my pet hedgehog, Spiny Norman, and then laughing heartily at his witty rejoinder. Such times we have. And then I find my toes, and all is lost for the next 15 minutes. And what toes are these?

What lovely toes!

What lovely toes!

It is so nice to be able to sit on ones own and enjoy a good book, toe, or hedgehog, is it not?
