		<description><![CDATA[Humphrey&#8217;s popping up all over L.A. I just can&#8217;t keep him in his cage. It must be that lock-that-doesn&#8217;t-lock. Last week, I was at St. Felicitas School in San Marino for a fun morning talking about Humphrey. Humphrey showed up Sunday on the Kids&#8217; Page of the L.A. Times in a terrific  review by a [...]]]></description>

Thus is life in L.A.  Unfortunately I also ended up smack in the middle of the blackout with no traffic lights working and major traffic jams. But I was with my Aunt Katie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Answer to last post&#8217;s mystery question: it&#8217;s a magnolia tree seed pod. The tree is actually in our neighbor&#8217;s yard. We frequently see the pods themselves but I&#8217;ve never seen those red M&#38;M looking seeds before. Except for the skunks (and mosquitoes, etc.) nature is pretty grand. Especially the owl I hear at 3 and [...]]]></description>

And once the mystery was solved, it turned out to be a magical trip after all. Last year, the Penguin marketing team came up with the idea of a Humphrey Drawing Contest. Last [...]]]></description>
