The Banana Eater

09:25P

Well! I have a reader who is willing to Play The Game! The July 16 blog entitled "Another Small Amusement" was the catalyst for this submission by email from Papa Twade in Dallas, v.e.r.r.r.y. . .v.e.r.r.r.y. . .c.u.t.e. . , both Papa Twade AND his limerick:













The guy that was eating the banana
Is a big time music fanfana
As he ate his quick snack
With a pack on his back
He dreamt of being Carlos Santana.







And Papa Twade comments further: "For those of you that are not music fans, Carlos Santana is a legendary Grammy winning guitarist."

I emailed Papa Twade back: "Very cute! I knew I could count of you! You are my only response. I will publish it as promised. I'm glad u put the footnote about Carlos rhymes-with-banana Santana for my edification, never heard. I'll google for a pic. Or you can email URL address of one that u particularly like if u want."

Respectfully submitted,
Miss Peach

Welcome, Cameron!

11:30P Santa Monica time

A couple of months ago a client/friend and his wife sent me an email announcing the birth of their first grandchild, for whom the new granddad had written a short flute piece which he played when they met for the first time. He wrote in his announcement: “When she heard the flute, her eyes lit up and she stared at the flute in utter fascination. We’re going to have lots of fun with this beautiful Black Chinese Filipino Polish Italian little creature!” I clicked on the attachment to bring up a delightful picture of Mama, Papa and Baby, all three with broad smiles, looking at me from my computer screen.

I emailed back to the grandparents, parents and babe:
