Our friends brought Willie to San Diego for Thanksgiving with Big Johnny’s family. We met Johnny and Eva and Willie for lunch down at the beach…
There’s my little buddy.
And he just took his first steps all by himself the day before this.
He likes his green beans.
We took a walk on the beach.
There he is with Eva, his mom.
I love the little dinosaur hoodie.
We visited them again that evening at John’s mom’s house. Look at Willie walking. And look how proud Johnny is. He is also ready to catch Willie if he stumbles. What a good dad. I remember those days.
Willie was cruising back and forth between all of us. I am glad we got to be there for that. It was his very first full day as a free-range human. And every time he walked by me, he would stick his hand out so I could give him my patented ‘Arthur Browne, darn glad to me ya’ hardy handshake. Kids love that. They will do it a hundred times, and I never quit until they do. Cause I’m like that with kids.
Awwwww… he loves me…
Okay, I have two more posts today, each pimping… uh… I mean marketing some of my writing projects, so I hope to see you later.
Pouring My Art Out 
Growing up fast, I remember when he was a newborn.
Time is funny that way.
I haven’t aged at all since I was a newborn
Well your thumbprint is getting a little wrinkly… ha!
Time for some botox
It is going to be hard to get the needle into your lips…
I have a papercut it can be injected into
A paper cut on the nail??? What kind of paper are you using???
Just on the cuticle
ahhh… not your cute cuticle!
The cutest
ha!
a cut on the cuticle… a cuticle cut…
cut it out
I can’t
Aww. So precious. Then they turn into… teenagers.
And then adults…
Adults are morons.
Some of them are…
MOST of them are.
well… yeah…
I was in NO way insinuating anything about you. So don’t worry. ..
I always worry…
Me too. That’s what the little football shaped pills are for…
Try swallowing a real football… that will stop your worrying also.
That’s ok… I’d rather keep the small ones. They do the job just fine.
sure they do
Do I seem worried to you?
No… but I just posted a new chapter of the murder mystery…
Well… I’m already dead so what could I possibly have to worry about?
That’s looking on the bright side! Those pills are working. Now try the hockey puck shaped one.
I need more chapters… *tapping fingernails fiercely on dining table*
I write stuff for you as fast as I can.
Do I need to send some speedy pills to the squirrels? ?
On top of the crack they are already doing? No…
How about some nice heroin?
Might calm them down.
Yes… help them focus…
Yes, it… shiny thing!
Haha! How about I just send my cat over there to intimidate them a bit?
They eat cats for lunch.
My cat is not normal. She chases dogs away from her territory.
There are hundreds of squirrels… and they are on crack… and they are inside my head… so…
She would find a way inside.
ow…
or… me ow… ha… see what I did there?
Yes… I see… you insult my intelligence 😦
No… I insult mine. And maybe your cat’s…
I have a problem.
uh oh… with me? Or just a new one?
Haha! No… I recently made a twitter and now people are following me and I don’t even know how to use it!!!
As my daughter would say, you don’t make a twitter… you make a tweet…
Oh god… I’m doomed. What are all the @@@ and ### for? So confused!!!
Once again, going to me for advice on anything about computers is like asking Hitler how to celebrate Chanukah… okay… that sounded wrong… asking Sara Palin to explain one of Shakespeare’s plays.
He’s cute!
He is.
Today, Willie free-ranges. Tomorrow, a marathon. Those little kids move pretty fast! Hope both his parents have a good set of sneakers for chasing after Willie.
He is well looked after.
He’s such a cute little guy. I love the dinosaur hoodie too!
I want one.
Pass my congratulations over to Willie. I wonder what the patented handshake looks like…
It is just a very vigorous handshake while I say Arthur Browne, darn glad to meet ya,” Kids love it for some reason. I do it to adults too, but they seldom come back over and over… because adults are weird…
Yeah, that’s why…
it sure is
I like Willie’s t-shirt.
They are some hip Bay Area parents.
