lapsedmodernist | Guilt is...

I have this giant Lonely Planet "One World" book of photos, which I got as a thank-you gift for doing a lecture on the Millenium Development Goals for this student organization back in the fall, which is basically a large collection of National Geographic type of photos. Fionn is super into it lately, and likes to sit with me and ask "what's that?" or "where's that?" for each picture, and I read the captions and explain them to him. There are a number of images from Morocco in the book. Every time we see a Morocco photograph, Fionn asks "where's Mr. Black Bear?" Mr. Black Bear, Fionn's first teddy bear (predating Mishka), was accidentally left behind in Marrakesh during our trip last summer.

Having said that, I think it's pretty nifty that Mr. Black Bear is leading an ongoing pleasant life in Morocco, as per Fionn. Fionn periodically talks about Mr. Black Bear going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. Of course, there is no ocean in Marrakesh, but that's minor details.
