We had another visit from Macbeth, aka Black and White Kitty today, and said kitty is currently asleep on our porch, which indicates to me we've been adopted.

Now all I have to do is get the current cat and the husband on board, and Macbeth can come live inside.*






*It will be easier to convince the cat

"...the story of Tango will delight young readers and open their minds" John Lithgow

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted about The Penguin Book that had a few people in an uproar because it was about two penguins who were male and a couple, and got to raise a baby?

Well, I bought the book on Amazon, I thought to give it to Charlie, as we've been to the Central Park Zoo, but it is a bit more childish than I thought it might be, and I've decided to give it to my niece, Maya, instead. She apparently likes penguins.

Anyway...I just thought I'd tell you, for the record, that it is an absolutely adorable book. It's about families more than anything. Here's some brief exerpts:

But children and their parents aren't the only families at the zoo. The animals make families of their own.

Every year at the very same time, the girl penguins start noticing the boy penguins. And the boy penguins start noticing the girls. When the right girl and the right boy find each other, they become a couple.

Roy and Silo are introduced at this point. Roy and Silo were both boys. But they did everything together. They bowed to each other. And walked together. They sang to each other. And swam together. Wherever Roy went, Silo went too.

They notice that the other penguins are starting a family, and they make their own nest, and sit on a rock in hopes it will hatch. Fortunately, there was another penguin couple who had two eggs at once, and as those penguins had a history of not being able to tend to more than one egg at a time, the zookeeper gave one of the eggs to the boys. They sat on the eggs (apparently penguins take turns tending to the offspring) and evenutally the baby was born. We'll call her Tango," Mr Gramzay (zookeeper) decided, "because it takes two to make a Tango."

It ends with this: At night the three penguins returned to their nest. There they snuggled together and, like all the other penguins in the penguin house, and all the other animals in the zoo, and all the families in the big city around them, they went to sleep.

I believe it was slammerkinbabe who mentioned this proves, rather than disproves, that homosexuality is a part of nature. Remember the swans in Boston?

At any rate, it is a very sweet book, totally appropriate for children, and that it caused any sort of contraversy is a reflection on the fears of narrow-minded people, not becausethe book is contraverial.
