Thompson Gypsy Adventure

From November 2009 to September 2010 Tyler and Paula will be on a grand adventure. We have lent our house to another family who need a place to live while they are building a new house, and we have hit the road. New Zealand, Australia, Texas (!), Ireland, Scotland, England, and Japan are planned.

Owed to a Mushroom

(Yes, I can spell.  It's a pun.  
Perhaps "Owed [sic]" would be more proper.)

An ode to young Gus:
A hero unsung, Gus.
He's lots of fun, Gus - 
A real fun guy, Gus -
A fungus among us.
He's not high-strung, Gus.
He isn't humongous,
He's just a small fungus.
I can outrun Gus.
I can out-pun Gus.
Eas'ly outdone, Gus.
He's just a young fungus.


Don't blame Paula for this.  It's pure Tyler, as if you couldn't tell!
