"That's very delicate and I want to send it to the scientists."
Fox made a fossil out of his fossils.
I love the admixture of pedantry and fantasy in his study of the Mesozoic. He knows all about a score of kinds of theropods, and was startled when I told him that his cats are carnivores, because it's plant-eaters who walk on four legs. He invents long, serious names ending in -saurus for his clades, half nonsense and half poetry: Cambochangosaurus, Jackattackasaurus, and others half the length of Ozymandias. My favorite of all belongs to a pair of tongs, and is worthy of Lear: Pelican Gulper.
Yesterday's cake (waning fast): a dark chocolate bundt with an orange buttercream icing. Fox zested and squoze.
Not as ethereal as that cheesecake, but hey, chocolate.
Next, madeleines?
