All parents think their kids are adorable. That's part of th unconditional love thing. Since I never saw a picture of Nina, I was just wondering if he had any interaction with Suzanne and Nina since theoretically, he does more business things with Harvey.

Thank you for this question, Iisryan! According to Jim (West, not Belushi), I'm a better cook than Al is. And I'm definitely a better football player.

It is indeed all about the Pentiums. Especially those Pentium Girls...

I have met them. I live with them! I'm teaching Nina how to read--she's at a 3rd grade level already! Suzanne is really nice too. She sewed me a sweater for the winter months.

Wow considering she is almost a twp old. That's surprising!

Manda, Nina will be two on February 11th. But still, a two-year old reading at a third grade level is pretty impressive!

Yeah sorry. I was about to correct myself. I knew that.

Hi Harvey!

I'm sorry I haven't seen all of your tv appearances, but from what I have seen, you're a very talented hamster!

Is Harvey a family name? Or were you named after a family friend?

I don't know if you like to get into hot water, but if you do, were you at any of the hot tub parties with Al and Dr. Demento?

Since you have the run of the house (at least on occasion?) anything you can tell us about the next (2006?) AL-bum/cd or anything else that Al's currently working on?

I don't know whether to be more impressed by a two-year-old reading at third-grade level, or a hamster reading at all!

It figures, though, that Al would have inordinately bright animal companions.

Inordinately bright offspring is, ahem, a no-brainer, especially with a woman like Suzanne collaborating on the project.

No, wait, it isn't a woman like Suzanne-- it IS Suzanne!

I would imagine after almost being put into a pot of boiling water by Varna the Squirmese cook, that Harvey would not be very fond of hot water. We'll see what he says, but that is my guess.

My uncle's name is Harvey. I was named after him.

Hot water and I don't get along very well. I stay as far away from boiling, or near-boiling water as possible. I'm usually put in charge of entertainment at Al's parties. I'm currently planning and rehearsing a really big stunt for Nina's birthday party next month.

All I can tell you is that from the scribbling I've seen in Al's notebook that it's gonna be really funny! Al's always working on something, so I expect you'll be seeing him somewhere well before 2006.

I just want to add that everyone on this forum has been so nice to me and made me feel so welcome! Thanks everybody! You're the best!

Cool! Is he also a wonder hamster? Do you have any siblings, or an evil twin?

Good idea! (although I'm not so sure hot tubs got their name from the actual temperature of the water)

Cool! I'm sure it will be a smashing hit, no, a stunning...um..., a wonderful success! La Nina is sure to be mightily impressed!

Thanks for the info!

p.s. When Al scribbles in his notebook, does he use the back side of the page? Or just the front?
