Luvluvluv this conversation. They're always great fun. When I saw 'chinook', I thought helicopter. But apparently, they are the official state dog of New Hampshire, and are very people-oriented. Which makes perfect sense, given how wonderful this little chat is! 😎

Wonderful Heidi! I see that over time your interviewing skills have been diminished by the Critters so you are now more sort of their secretary 😂 . In the early days you had a bigger role but clearly you taught them all so well you have been able to take a backseat administrative role these days! ❤️

Thank you, April! As the Critters have gained an audience, so have they gained a greater interest in taking on the role of the interviewer. An interesting dynamic that is sure to continue to unfold. I do plan, however, to continue as the scheduler; otherwise, the writing cadence will revolve around mealtimes across multiple time zones which could get tricky.

Ha ha. Yes of course 😂 mealtimes over multiple time zones could get very messy ❤️

Arya and I love the name Bec. Arya, who also knows French, says bec also means beak. You can see why he loves the name. Safe travels and happy reunion.

Thank you Perry & Arya! Part of Bec’s Hooman family is of French-Canadian descent. His name honors their ancestry. Bec also has a deep deep appreciation for multiple meanings of the name and feels a kinship with Arya.:)
