Background and explanation

In utero and for a couple weeks afterward, Emma Lynn was called Etwas (German for "Something.")  Since the day she was born I've made up at least one story per day to tell her about Etwas the Elf. So that she can have a record of past stories once she's old enough to understand what in tarnation I'm barking about and so that my friends can follow along, I thought I'd try blogging the stories here.

  1. Oh!!!Doug, You have become a real softie. I always knew that you had this side to you...all that was needed was a little miracle.
    I am now contemplating whether it is safe for me to come here to read these marvelous stories...I might be influenced to the point of plagiarizing.
    However, I do feel myself drawn to them already.
    Is it alright to link this blog on mine...or would you like to keep it just for friends?

  3. Mo'a, thanks. I haven't thought much about how private or public I want this to be but, then, I probably won't so whatever you decide is alright with me. For my part, consider yourself licensed to use Etwas the Elf's image for doll-making, promotional products and, um, needlepoint?

    Thanks, TLP. We'll see.
