Numerous, though not all, members of the BB's family pictured here in our former home in California. Clockwise beginning with the purple-ribboned seated bear: Porphyry, Dillinger, Fr. Anskar, Otter the Great, Manuel Mapache, Margaret Macrina (Maggie), Leo, Paddington, Pample, Thermopylous; on the floor L to R: Hephzibah, Belle, Sally & Jonah; and my father's family in the photo.
Lest the august guardians of Padre Mickey's home (who were certainly left at home during a recent vacation as much to guard the home as for the sake of their safety) feel slighted, they are hereby saluted and duly recognized by my children.
So here's to Gallito Mescalito, Mr. Red Peanut Bank, Mr. Chompy's Chewed-up Kitty Toy, and the Egyptian Hippo of Love from all the kids at Desert Farne.
In further solidarity, the BB wishes to inform Padre Mickey that the BB chats with his kids all the time.
We are also commanded to convey best wishes from His Orthodox Majesty, Maximiliano Cuauhtemoc Juarez Primo, Emperor of El Cerrito, Archduke of Hercules, and Margrave of the Great River ("Cocoa" to his friends). His O. M. is not pictured as he is busy napping in my bed right now.
Some of us feel the world would be saved from much folly and not a little grievous sin if we took ourselves less seriously.
--the BB
