Warbling is ok with me, kat, as long as it's musical. And not just the kids, older folks can warble too, some of them very sweetly. Oh how I miss my warbler, the old mudnester.

Are we not just one big unhappy family, kat? W.C. Fields liked to say that his family was poor but dishonest. A few years ago a woman from P.E.I. asked me why I hadn't gone back to Cape Breton in twenty years. Didn't I have relatives living there? I told her I hadn't gone back because some of them were still living.
