Daily Quote:  "Well, if you can't laugh or think, what can you do?" asked Milo. "Anything as long as it's nothing, and everything as long as it isn't anything," explained another. "There's lots to do; we have a very busy schedule-

"At 8 o'clock we get up, and then we spend "From 8 to 9 daydreaming. "From 9 to 9:30 we take our early midmorning nap. "From 9:30 to 10:30 we dawdle and delay. "From 10:30 to 11:30 we take our late early morning nap. "From ll:00 to 12:00 we bide our time and then eat lunch. "From l:00 to 2:00 we linger and loiter. "From 2:00 to 2:30 we take our early afternoon nap. "From 2:30 to 3:30 we put off for tomorrow what we could have done today. "From 3:30 to 4:00 we take our early late afternoon nap. "From 4:00 to 5:00 we loaf and lounge until dinner. "From 6:00 to 7:00 we dillydally. "From 7:00 to 8:00 we take our early evening nap, and then for an hour before we go to bed at 9:00 we waste time.

"As you can see, that leaves almost no time for brooding, lagging, plodding, or procrastinating, and if we stopped to think or laugh, we'd never get nothing done."

Cuddly Custom Plush Doll - just for you!

Announcing a new Kickstarter level for My Paper Crane's CUSTOM PLUSH DOLL. We think this is just too unique of an opportunity to be missed out on, and we worry we put one of our coolest rewards out of people's reach. We just know there is a child (even one of overgrown size!) who would love a familiar friend, a new pillow, a classroom buddy - a Norton Juster  & Jules Feiffer character brought off the page and into your cuddly arms.

Heidi from My Paper Crane has offered to make a CUSTOM PLUSH DOLL (larger in size than the Tocks she's making) out of YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER from the Phantom Tollbooth. It's such a unique and special reward that we can only offer 2 (as she'll be making the design and the individual doll by hand just for you!).

Here's the Tock doll to give you an example. And you can see more of her hilarious, sweet, and impeccably crafted work at www.mypapercrane.com)

"I'll continue to see things as a child...

Daily Quote(Would be a good Monday quote, but works just as well on a Thursday!

“Would it be possible for me to see something from up there?" asked Milo politely.

"You could," said Alec, "but only if you try very hard to look at things as an adult does."

Milo tried as hard as he could, and, as he did, his feet floated slowly off the ground until he was standing in the air next to Alex Bings. He looked around very quickly and, an instant later, crashed back down to the earth again. "Interesting, wasn't it?" asked Alex.

"Yes, it was," agreed Milo, rubbing his head and dusting himself off, "but I think I'll continue to see things as a child. It's not so far to fall.”
