I swam across the ocean today. The Pacific. I’d done it once before. I had such fond memories and wanted to do it again. As was before, the first half hour was difficult. That’s because I was warming up. After that it was a breeze. A few hundred miles into my swim I was joined […]
I like to whistle. I’m quite good at it. I’ve made a few albums. One of them was a best-seller in Brazil. It’s called, “Fred Whistles at Carnegie Hall.” It was recorded at a live concert I did back in November before Covid. The royalties I receive from the album sales make up for the […]
I took my rocket ship to the Moon and got out and went for a walk. I like the surface of the Moon because it’s soft dust. As the dust flew up into the air I imagined each particle was a miniature Moon. I walked till I got to a crater. I sat on the […]
This is a picture of me singing. I like to sing. I was built to sing. Talking is okay. Singing is where it’s at. I was singing, “Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-laahhh!!”

And they said I would be safe because tricycle’s tires are made of hard thick rubber and can’t get a flat. My mom packed me twenty-five butter and jelly sandwiches and put […]
I got up in the middle of the night to get some water. That’s when I came upon the creature in my living room. I introduced myself and asked its name. The creature hissed and with arms aloft declared, “I am the King of the Vast Netherworlds!” I said, “Okay, but what do your friends […]
