Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window

[porphyry]

These are Andrew's latest toys, which, I am pleased to be able to say, he actually likes. Who knew that one would be able to get such nice things anymore?



The large one is a de Haviland Mosquito Mark VI. I was compeletely flabbergasted when I saw this one on offer on the web.

The Blue one is an F-18 Hornet painted in air-show colors, which Andrew thinks is Big Jet from the Little Eisnteins (if you don't know what that means count yourself fortunate). Big Jet is really an F-15, but since its painted blue, Andrew more easily accepts this as him than he would have the actual F-15 in the series which was painted in desert camoflage. The next one a German Comet from the War (really a rocket rather than a true aeroplane), and finally an A-10 Warthog; this he knows from a video I showed him on you-tube of an A-10 shooting up tanks on a fireing range with its gattling gun after he enquired about Big-0's gattling gun.

You all should have a look at the latest (for me) issue of Harper's. Within an essay called "Falling" is a description of the joy felt by a young boy confined to a body cast. You will doubtlessly see similarities between the narrator and Andrew.

Mme. Malkhos asks, especially as you suggest it my not be the issue on the newsstands here now (and we have little enough opoportunity to get to the newsstand, let alone a library), could you mention the points that stand out in your mind as interesting? Probably that would be more entertaining to read than the whole article anyway.
