I'm talking thousands of years of larger-than-life heroes, here, not just capes and costumes. The "realistic" novel and short story are relatively recent fads by comparison.Timothy Callahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078183191900311833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22842788.post-78758342110941053512008-03-30T11:44:00.000-04:002008-03-30T11:44:00.000-04:00They have it every year (so far.

And I say that as someone who both lives and works within close walking distance. My only experience with them was some really gross overpriced crepes I got at work from there one night. They were soggy, and had strawberries when I ordered bananas! Curse you, Daddy-O's! I was all excited for them too because, hello, crepes. <BR/><BR/>Andrew has grown up so much when I last saw him, and remains super-adorable despite (or more like because of) apparently being one of the most solemn children ever.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685649620726123920noreply@blogger.com
