Isnt he handsome? My dad has accomplished his goal and Victor Hugo's 'The Man Who Laughs' is finally available to American readers. This version is a little more friendly to modern readers and slightly abridged. A screenplay is currently being marketed and will be released in book form soon. The novel can be purchased at Amazon, Borders, or Xlibris (the publisher).
In other news, We have adopted a new kitty. His name is Frank. We found him the other day when my oldest son and I were on our way to town. While driving a frequently travelled back road, I almost ran over the wee thing when I rounded a bend and he was in the middle of my lane. I missed him, but turned around to see if he was okay. I stopped because he was still in the road and instead of his running, as I expected him to do, he came right up to me, mewing pitifully. I'm such a softie. I couldnt resist him. My son held him while we drove to the gas station and got a can of cat food since the kitty's ribs were showing and he was very frail. He ate it all up and fell asleep in Johnson's lap. We put him in the basement w/ our other cat, Possum. They didnt like each other much at first but are getting along now.
We have sold the back portion of our property and are in the process of cleaning things up to prepare the house and 6 acres for sale as well. We are still planning to move out west. Not sure if we'll be in Utah, Nevada, or Arizona yet-still doing some research.
