questions for the young (of any age)

Have you ever wondered...
if some dogs are really little people in a dog's skin? How do you know which ones are really little persons without asking them? My dog looks at me like he wants to talk but is afraid I might freak out. Maybe he's not afraid I will freak out but is just a shy little person that looks dogish. Someone suggested whispering in his ear when he's asleep. He might just wake up startled and say something that would let me know who he really is. Then we could be real friends and go to the movies together.
Try this. Sneak up on the next dog you come across and yell "Boo". If he says "You scare me!" he's really a little person. If he tries to bite you he's probaby not.

Hi Family,

Please check out this video that our friend filmed and directed for Rob's song, "Mystery of Chances." Rob's dad plays the starring role as the fisherman!

And just to comment on blog difficulty, when I first signed on to the blog, all I could do was comment on an old blog, but once I posted the comment, the option to post my own new blog was suddenly available.

.......questions for the young (of any age)

Have you ever,,,,,,

Have you ever seen a talking squirrel? I mean a real live squirrel; one that climbs trees and eats nuts? You know- the ones you see in your back yard and along the side of roads with busy tails and brown fur? I don’t mean a fake squirrel that you buy in a toy store and squeeze it to make a squeaking sound that someone might think was a word. And I don’t mean a sound like a parrot can make that sounds like a real word. No, I mean a real live squirrel that can say a real word like “Hello” when you meet it. A clear distinct “Hello” like any real person would say to another when they meet on the street.
Have you ever seen such a squirrel? I haven’t.

Blog problems and Derek and Lauren.

I have heard that there is a problem entering anything on the Hepbron Blog. This is my first visit for awhile. Lets see if there is still a problem after this.

We Hepbrons had a great wedding!!. Luckily Derek and Lauren were able to attend also. They are a great couple and we were glad to have them enjoy the evening with us. I think we may allow Lauren to join the family if she promises to act crazy at family events. We will test her again at the next wedding.

It was fun to join others in the kind of quiet wedding meditations that only the Hepbrons and their spouses are capable of.( I am hoping that someone filmed the award winning dance of Don Woods. It was fantastic!) We must insist that someone in the family gets married every year!!

Sorry some of you had to miss the Jersey Shore Housewives and their friends the next day. It was a really really good time!! And in Ocean Grove too. ( Still a dry town for everyone except humans- as we proved). Little Eve provided early entertainment. What a doll! I think we should keep her.

Hope this note gets through to all the important people in our collective family- including our official new member Lauren Woods. Nice choice Derek!

I can't tell you how proud Helen and I are to share in the fun and comradeship of the greater Hepbron family. We send love to all!

Matt and Karen underway!!

Matt and Karen have finally sailed out of San Francisco and are now in Santa Barbara.If you haven't been following there blog you are missing a real treat. Matt and Karen do extensive reporting of their trip- with live pictures of the trip as they go. The miracle of the internet ! You can reach their site at http://syzygysailing.com/. Karen also has a site at http://weatherhelmed.com/. Both Matt and Karen are good writers and are taking the time to show and tell a good story. You are missing a treat if you aren't following their trip. You can also follow the boat's daily location by using the marine site http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/default.aspx?zoom=12&mmsi=367430820#.This site follows the actual position of ships at sea or in port by satelite. Matt and Karen presently have another couple with them. This is good as the other man is an experienced sailer and will prove really helpful to Matt and Karen as they learn the ways of the sea in a sail boat. We all wish them well in their travels. I feel better about their venture now as it appears they are taking the trip slowly and making extra sure they and the boat are ready before setting sail in really dangerous waters in the Pacific. I think you will be reaassured, too, if you follow their daily web reports and find how knowledgeable Matt really is about sailing, weather, his boat, etc.. Wish I could be with them.
Best to all- especially to world famous Kathy Woods and her naked treasure!!!
