Hi Paul,

Talking about images of people - I've always
seen myself more as a mouse, rather than a
fox. I chose the name Foxy - because of my big
mane of auburn hair. Here's an interesting
story about a mouse that you might enjoy reading
to your grand-children (if you haven't already):

Hi again Paul,

Sorry for the typo. I misspelled the author's
first name. I'll try again. I hope it works
this time:

Hi Foxy,

The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson, an interest poem/story. The moral for me is if your clever enough, you can out smart those who might seem to have the physical advantage over you. A "brains beats brawn" truism.

Paul,

Dream on.

The passion is waning. 'Hi' now instead of 'Dear'. Ya gotta laugh.

Hi Paul,

You'd think that bullies would disappear after high
school, but some people never grow out of being a
great big jerk.

I used the story of the Gruffalo in my Storytime
Sessions to teach children how to deal with bullies.

It became a very popular book amongst the kids.
There's a follow up story as well called -
"The Gruffalo's child." which is equally great.
And loved by all.

My grand-children even have a stuffed toy of the
Gruffalo which they love. The illustrations in the
books are great as well.
