Dear World:

 I’d like to reintroduce you to Scotty the Lizard/Dinosaur/Crocodile/Alien (Never really sure which.)  We’re going through some old boxes in our basement and out flushes this monster from the past.

Now, before I continue, I’d ask you extend an ounce of palliation for the large wet stain in the mid-section of this otherwise very cute picture.  We’re trying….

So Scotty.  Scotty was born to this earth over 30 years ago by the hands of my great grandmother.  Yeah, so if you’re a fan of this blog you’ve met GG (The Earl Weaver Look-a-like) and this would be his mother!  So, yeah there are some years and generational power behind this seemingly simple doll.  Scotty has traveled across this country and even secretly (I’m so ashamed to admit) made a stop for a few years in my closet in Geneseo.  Once, Scotty even helped me do a keg stand!  So now, with some trepidation, I am passing Scotty on to his new owner… may my eldest son treat Scotty with the same reverence that I have.  May he also experience the thrill of passing him on to his child.  May Scotty also stay pieced together long enough to enjoy his next keg stand!
