The Monkey and a plywood violin

[Bill's Bar]

If Fred get's the bugle and the drum, he'll be a one monkey band.

[lizzytysh]

Just can't help yerself, can ya Bill's Bar ? Maybe you can sign him up to play at your place for a little extra cash.

Oooooh this is so disconcerting - no sign of Fred . Maybe he's upset with us . Fred, come back - let us know you're okay and have not been swayed by all the monkeyshines going on around you .

Loving regards,
Mother Mary

[Bill's Bar]

You're right Lizzy.
There'd be just about enough room for the one monkey band to play in my place. So long as he doesn't join the Monkees.
And Mother Mary, you're speaking words of wisdom.

[lizzytysh]

There you go, again... Punners Anonymous may be just the ticket for you, Bill's Bar.

My serious hope is that Fred's manager is appropriately sequestering him at all key, crucial times. The one thing I do not want to have to face is Monkey Ransom on Ebay . We all have our good causes, and all... and this would surely be one... but just the proper level of circumspection and care will preclude the need. We really don't need a new phrase to hit our lexicon... "I paid a monkey's ransom for that car!" A photo of our little Fred would be reassuring about now... [hint, Hint, HINT]... no monkeynapping allowed.

So great that Fred has been given such a high degree of respect by Leonard and the band !

Don't worry, I bet he'll show up before too long. Remember, he's in the Pacific Northwest now - the pace is a little slower up here. I'll keep my eyes open for him tonight!!!

[lizzytysh]

Oh, tonight, KaimiK!?! Excellent! We have an eyewitness afoot. What about Victoria, though? D'ya reckon we'll get a whole photo shoot on him? Actually, I'm sure you're right; Fred and the band are just lolling around, enjoying the laid-back territories. We must remember to be patient. After all, Fred has joined the Leonard Cohen band .

Enjoy the concert ~ lucky you! [Report back ASAP on Fred . You don't mind being on monkey patrol for us, right ?]

[The Monkey]

Fear not, I am doing well. Here I am in Victoria after lunch.

The Monkey

[The Monkey]

Gosh it sure is nice outside in Victoria ... maybe someone will take me out to play ?

The Monkey

[The Monkey]

I found a new playmate to take me outside!

Oh for heavens sake....I've been off line for like 10 hours and just where the heck is Fred??? Couldn't follow this at work because we are training and trainees can never see you on the internet. Then the dentist...finally, here I am and just where...JUST WHERE, is Fred? Surely he would have surfaced by now. However, perhaps he is gorging himself on gooey ducks and all those weird things they have in the Pacific Northwest.

I am loving the puns that have started!

Just now simply waiting to see if our little Fred is safe and sound.......in Puget Sound.....ar-ar..(I know, sad)

Remember that you may have Mother Mary, but you also have ole Aunt Di. Call home..please little darlin'....

All the best,
Aunt Di

Diana!
You just MISSED him. He's having a GRAND time. Looks like he's found a lady friend too.

So good to know you are safe and sound, Fred. Enjoy the show!

Eve

[ladydi]

Fred! I knew that if I sent you a message you would appear! Wow....my special city. Isn't it beautiful? You are looking wonderful and so relaxed! I think it must be the sea air.

AND you have found another friend! That is such good news and I know that whoever it is will spend some quality time with you. I "think" I may know who your new friend is and feel free to confide in them and cuddle up whenever you feel like it.

Keep you "brally" with you in Seattle and don't get caught in the rain as you have to keep healthy. Lots of cities still on the tour!

Hugs to you little guy,
Diana

xoxoxo

[ladydi]

Hi Eve,

The little guy popped up at just the right time! I can sleep now....the kid is safe.

Diana

[lizzytysh]

Hahaha... and here I was coming back to Repent! To say that I had chilled and that we must not be greedy about Fred's time OR the band's ! As if they have nothing better to do than keep the Forum in For'md as to Fred's comings and goings, right ? And what do I find? Three minutes before Di appeared, little Freddie Pooh did!!!

Oh, Fred... I cannot BEGIN to tell you how relieeeeeeeeved I am to see you just climbin' around ol'Victoria. Lots of fresh air and sunshine... and I see they're keeping you well brushed, too... your fur is looking very shiny and healthy . Good nutrition obviously a priority. Your eyes are bright as ever. And I see you are literally in good hands there... however, it seems you're also living life on the edge... have a good time, Fred, but watch that you don't fall for your playmate.

And there... hahaha... lil' ol'Fred... just relaxin' with the bandstand behind him... did you see the Order of the Unified Hearts on the curtains, Fred? Is that what's behind that sublimely sweet smile of yours? You are such a precious little guy... and I am sooooooooooooo glad to see you're being cared for so well . You've just made my day, my night, and all day tomorrow . I, too, can rest now.

Remember that tonight's a 'school night' for you. You need your rest to keep playing well.

I remember now how when I was a kid the PSA that would come across the TV, "It's 11:00. Do you know where your monkeys are?" At least I think that's what they said.


Love,
Aunty Lizzy
