Self Portrait Tuesday

I drive to Houston every three months for a haircut; I only trust one person with my hair. One of the best features of the current do is that it holds up when tossed about and messed up, because it is usually tossed about and messed up. Actually this is not unlike how I feel currently.

This morning we rallied with haste to meet Michael Berenstain, son and collaborator with the great Jan and Stan Berenstain at BookPeople for a Berenstain Bears storytime. But a big black felt marker “CANCELLED” on the calendar greeted us at the entrance, and the store clerk informed us all that Stan Berenstain is very sick in the hospital, and Michael had to go be with him. So instead we listened to a spunky, cheerful tale of a Siamese cat who thought he was a chihuahua while making get well cards with crayons and construction paper.
Alis and I agree the real draw for the Berenstan Bears, for us, was their enormous treehouse home.
