The Cat Returns

Bless Mrs. Mosley's heart. She can be rather timid when buying me gifts because she's horridly afraid she'll get the wrong thing or get something I will be absolutely indifferent to. Well, on her trip out with her cousin last night, she picked up this at the local Barnes & Noble:



Her decision on this title was based on my previous statements on wanting to pick up Porco Rosso for little CC. And though I still plan of getting Porco Rosso (and maybe Princess Mononoke for when CC is old enough for the scarier stuff), this is a fine intro title for her.


Thank you, sweetie.

"Birthright"

I'm bookmarking this for two years from now.

Hi-ho, Hi-ho... you know the rest.

After six weeks of paternity leave, I started back at work today. And as I slog through the backed up emails and paperwork, I think about Mrs. Mosley and CC. Below is currently my favorite picture of the little tyke:



That certainly makes the day go easier.

I'd love to tell you I've never known people like this, but...

I really have nothing to add to this. Be sure to check out the website.

At the very least, this picture motivates me to post more often so the picture moves further down the page and I don't have to stare into the eyes of the father every day.

Roscoe Lee Browne Quote of the Month: August 2009

In honor of our newborn, the next two movies in our "Quote of the Month" series are from a movie and it's sequel that are wonderful films for children. Babe is an enchanting film about an orphan pig who tries to fit in and please his new master. The film has a gentle pace (a rarity in kids films these days) and is structured like a fairytale. Our narrator for this fairytale is, of course, Roscoe. The result is one of his more memorable roles. Here is his introduction to the story:

Narrator: "This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart, and how it changed our valley forever. There was a time not so long ago when pigs were afforded no respect, except by other pigs; they lived their whole lives in a cruel and sunless world. In those days pigs believed that the sooner they grew large and fat, the sooner they'd be taken into Pig Paradise, a place so wonderful that no pig had ever thought to come back."
