A Constant

Floppy, my eternal friend through thick and thin. His plush suit may have worn away, but his stuffing is bunched for just the right bends and poses. Childhood appendectomy, college and the nearly forty years following, he's been a constant. I shared him only a bit with a like minded nephew, but we were not meant to be parted. My nana repaired his red felt tongue and the bell in his well worn ear once summoned a favorite cat without fail.

My eye fell upon him this morning as I made the bed, his world for years. Maybe it was watching, "Where The Wild Things Are" last night that made him look so comforting, but there he was, my constant.


This post is a test of my iPhone App, we're going to San Francisco at the end of the month and I'm thrilled that I can continue my blip journey while away. The lens may not be quite as sharp as my Nikkors or little Summicron on my Leica D-Lux 4, but it will capture my California world just fine.
