Channeling Roald Dahl

The Big Friendly Giant was one of my favorite books as a kiddo.  To this day, I love the image of Sophie hiding in the BFG's pocket.  I digress. Roald Dahl was a champion of imagination and seeing the good in the most dubious of characters and things (giants? chocolate?).  I know!! My kinda guy.

Roald Dahl from The Twits

Mr. Dahl must have been in my pocket this weekend when I found a tiny kitten taped in a box. He was cold, dirty and sick. His ear is floppy, his nose is scruffy and his legs are skinny. But between you and me, I think he's perfectly lovely.

Meet Oliver (or Olivier if you're fancy)

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”  - Roald Dahl

Happy Weekend - I'm taking a 40 mile bike ride through the Bronx. Wish me luck!
