Poking About Again

Man, what is going on around here? I’ll tell you what’s going on. We’re boxing up everything in the house to move to a place that’s big enough to accommodate us and the new house goblin, Madeleine (aka Maddie, aka Miss Fuss, aka Squeaker, aka Doodlebug, aka Priss, aka Monsters, aka the Barracuda, aka Snorlax, aka Grunty). The new place has a nursery for which we have big plans — a pink stripe, a cherry blossom, and some dashing curtains.

&c.
