Accompanied by a salad of arugula and diced red and yellow beets.

4. First draft of the anthology cover:

  2. Something about that little mustache, like a chubby kid dressed up like an old man. Plus splashing around in the kiddie pool and holding hands with the keepers. Also his favorite toy is a plastic bucket, which he likes to wear on his head. None of us can resist a 300 lb. baby walrus with a bucket on his head.
