Here is my guy Mulberry. He’s a dumbo, with ears on the side of his head, and he looks like a groundhog when he runs. Here, he’s enjoying a nap in a hanging basket. This guy really marches to the beat of his own drum, and is famous for doing a fireman’s pole move off the apparatus my wife built.

My books came in! Said elsewhere that as a kid I had the goal of making a record and writing a book. I have made a whole lot of records in my life by this point, but I’ve finally accomplished the other goal. Grateful as possible to have gotten to do it.
