Wasn't Moby-Dick a terrier?
I am so excited about Moby-Dick that I'll probably even finish reading the introduction or something. It's a two-Airedale problem! If the dogs don't prevent me from reading Moby-Dick they will almost certainly eat the book itself. And how come is Moby-Dick hypenated? Maybe I should try harder to read past the introduction. Sit, stay and maybe I'll see you in October. Am looking forward to seeing some of my old friends, me.
