Wednesday’s Whimsy

I stayed home sick today. I’m still sick. I hope that I’m un-sick tomorrow. This sick business stinks.

In the meantime, I laid around a lot, and fiddled on Twitter (and Facebook, too). This tweet caught my eye:

Wow. I just discovered there was an earlier Space Cat. I want to read these books! #kidlit #kidlitart pic.twitter.com/EkYcQAmzGA

@stormsy @Inkybat I have a copy of Space Cat and the Kittens. It’s cute. (I wonder where it is…)

@paleololigo @Inkybat Lucky you! Find it!

This may be one of my most favorited and retweeted posts ever. Who knew so many would be excited about my little book?

My little book had been buried in boxed in our attic. We plan to clean out that space this summer. I think it’s going to be fun. Check out what else I found:

While looking for one thing in the attic, I found another. I was a member of the A-Team fan club! pic.twitter.com/lVdwZYqzCs

Look what else I found. A floppy disk that held a whopping 1.6 Mb! Those were the days, my friends. pic.twitter.com/PAYvQgMCFE

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Who remembers these? pic.twitter.com/pZHNIrpeL5

There was more. Lots more. No doubt come summer, there will be a ton of Wednesday Whimsy posts. For now, I think I’ll lay down again. Seriously, when you’re sick, you shouldn’t be digging around in the attic
