Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Ladies and gentlemen. Step right up. Be the first in line to see something marvelous. Is it a two-headed lion that eats vegetable kabobs? No. Is it a bearded kitten that speaks with a lisp? No. Is it a Chinese polo player with windsocks for arms? No. Give up? okay then. It’s TAYLOR. The AMAZING TAYLOR!! He has officially begun a blog. Which is no small feat for a twelve-year-old boy. Begin the journey here.

[Update on Lissy’s interview]

[11:20] Lissy: incidentally those were the very undies I pooped in on the way home from ridgecrest when dad said he wouldn’t stop for a bathroom. But at least the poop didn’t stick like it would have to cotton undies. So I just dumped the poop on the front lawn and went in side. Mom never knew. and they washed up great!
