I love that pic of the little Pumpkinhead. He was so chubby and little.
You already know how I feel about Bradbury. Yeah, he's kinda cheesy, but at least he's honest about it. And you're right, it IS an escape from cynicism. I just can't escape the resident cynicism that has taken what appears to be a permanent residency in my head.....but that's one of the reasons I married you. You weren't beyond repair. You still had that sparkle. Still do.

jb, the only one of bradbury's you ever read was dandelion wine. the others, especially his short stories, have plenty of cynicism.
aw, baby, you're so sweet! *sparkle sparkle* but i know the real truth about your cynicism too. after a little bit (ok, a lot) of "soul-searching" nudge nudge, the phenomenally prickish jb becomes contented as a well-fed kitten. even you have your moments.

thanks, jmarquis! we like to think so anyway. that was awesome of you to say so. i'm afraid my blog has turned into a kind of sappy public email with jb since he is out of town for a bit.
sorry for the cheeze, marquis, and all you other devoted shangrila readers (all three of you).

Don't apologize for the cheese. It's kinda nice considering how snide most of the blogs are (mine included).
