"coming...
coming..."

how many of you remember the old disney cartoon robin hood? the one with the foxes and rabbits and bears and other "forest" type creatures. i loved the movie growing up (and still do for that matter) and some of my earliest memories are wanting to be like robin hood and live out in the forest until i was very old. ...being a fabulous shot with a bow was not too bad either, but that's going to take a bit more work.

anyway, at the big archery tourney, sir hiss gets himself stuck in a barrel of wine. prince john comes looking for him after the big hullabaloo involving lady kluck becoming the worlds greatest linebacker (i actually think my love of american football stems from this one scene). "hiss! hiss! you're never around when i need you!" hiss replies in a high sing-song voice: "coming...coming..."

the scene replays itself in my mind when ever anyone is looking for me or when something is expected of me...
needless to say tales of our adventures are coming

Holy Crow! Me too! Sometimes I even SAY it when Matt's calling me! (I don't think he gets it, though. This reminds me to add this movie to our Netflix queue, as I'm not sure how I agreed to marry him when he hasn't seen this wonderful movie...)

Oh, and, re: your desire to be Robin Hood. This is the essential difference between us: I wanted to be Maid Marian. (And sometimes Lady Kluck.) :P

(Sorry, that deleted comment was me, not knowing how to spell.)
