Warm tummies: We watched a special on cats several years ago. One of the cats lived in a blacksmith shop, and had found a way to get directly above the furnace. The cat had just come in from outside and was damp. We watched him walk across the tie-joist and lie down, where he began to steam. I could sure understand…
Some of the most popular videos on Youtube are fireplaces. There’s something primal about them. The better made videos make you almost feel the warmth and smell the smoke.
If you’re ever in the position where you need a fire but can’t have one, a bowl of Rice Krispies can be your alternate source of snaps and crackles. Pops, too, no extra charge.
Last year the kids got us a gas fire pit so we could sit out in the fall and enjoy beer o’clock longer. That’s me and Tucker (aka ET) in my avatar enjoying beer o’clock in late October
“But Mom, if you’d only get me that flamethrower, I could curl up in front of the fire ALL THE TIME and you wouldn’t have to keep lighting one for me!”
Ahhh. The good ol’days. With only a fireplace for heat, you have one warm side and a cold side.As long as someone else is hauling ashes and cutting wood.Been there. Done that.

This is what makes Calvin and Hobbes great: the small moments of quiet goodness amidst the crazy life of the child. Genius!

A nice little strip from Watterson.

Either the rerun dates are out of order or this strip originally aired a lot later than I thought it did.

When I was Calvin’s age, I did just as he is doing now, with a pile of comic books in front of the fireplace. Very comforting.

Happiness is a warm fire on a cold day, a mug of ale, a comfortable seat, and a good book.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t ever put my head on a tiger’s tummy.

I can’t say I agree with Calvin. The last time I tried cuddling up on a hot tiger’s tummy didn’t turn out very well.

I’m confused about how Dad hasn’t gotten so angry at Calvin that he turned Hobbes into a tiger-skin rug.
