Our Hero Reads

In other reading news, we can report that now that the bambini are routinely bathing or showering separately (Clara usually prefers a bath and Joe, a shower), Joe usually amuses himself while he waits either for the bathroom to be available, or Julie or Ted to be available for reading, by reading in his room.  Tonight, Ted arrived home from a city council meeting about the sidewalk completion proposal here in the Vista to find Joe combining two of his favorite things: being naked, and reading.  Joe was naked--and spread-eagled--on his bed reading the first in the Mercy Watson series while the tub was filling.  We don't have the a photograph, Fans.  You have to use your imaginations.
