An old guy who you would find boring.
Special skills include:
Ability to eat a whole pizza in a single sitting, regardless of size;
Amazing taste in comic book related apparel;
My cleverest moments invariably occur when there's no audience.
In the mail today I found another lovely gift, this time it's a hand carved badger, courtesy Lady-in-Gray. He sits here alongside the white bear she sent a while back.
For those of you not familiar with Native American culture and art, these are fetishes. The Native American carver believes that the power of the spirit of the animal is transferred to the human who holds it.
The bear transfers strength and inner power. The badger transfers the ability to reach a desired goal.
Even if you don't believe in the power of the fetishes, they are really cool pieces of Native American art to enjoy....
hey GB! i have a bear fetish just like yours with the fishy in it's mouth, thanks to a good friend in TX (cyber wink going out to lady)! mine is brown. it brings me much power, according to lady.

I don't know about power, but I suddenly want fish for dinner...
Leave the bear's fish alone, GB!
