Felix, he’ll do anything you ask him to. He’s not at all picky about what he does. You just name it, and it’s yours. He’s got this thing about eating. He doesn’t even insist on eating regular, it’s just plain eating that he’s looking at. Don’t worry, there's no danger of Felix getting fat. Like any kid, he exercises a lot. He even spends some time out there on the basketball court, shooting hoops with his mates. They don’t know what he does to earn his bread, if they did, they’d laugh. Of course they’re not angels themselves. See him. He’s right over there, the skinny kid, the one with the nice smooth muscles, all over his well tanned body. That’s him glistening in the heat.

Felix does seem to be very accomodating. Perhaps it's a survival tactic. Ida |

It would be so interesting to read Felix as a book, complete with character development, etc. I am enjoying Angelo ![]() And looking forward to the day when I will have to pack my son a sandwich when he decides to run away too... |

Thanks dear Ida, Yes, Felix is somewhat of a plumber—a plumber being a girl in the house of ill reputes that is left to handle all the dirty jobs. I don't think that term is used anymore. It just shows how words come and go from the language. Love Bobby |

Thanks dear DUBIOUSLYsane, I'm glad you are enjoying the series. The book should be coming out soon. Of course Angelo is Felix's kid. I'm pleased you are enjoying his exploits too. Bobby |

Dear Tammy, I don't understand. Is there a problem with that line? Felix/I never did get fat. He/I was too active. He was/is lucky that way. Love Bobby |

Dear Tammy Brown, You are absolutely correct. It should be "there's". I must be getting old, well; I guess I am getting old. Thank you for pointing that out. I will correct it here, and in the original. Bobby |

Thanks dear Alison, Felix has lived through some pretty horrible experiences. Felix thinks you're a keeper too. Felix says "Yo Alison"--and that's very good. Love Bobby |
