As did I, at first, but I did some research. I once sculpted an Emperor penguin for my youngest son, and I painted it - had to figure out which color went where - not easy for the colorblind guy, but my son still likes the sculpture, 20 years later, so either he is just being polite or I did okay.
I know I value the things my Dad made and gave to me. He enjoyed and appreciated nature, beauty and excellence and that's the greater gift passed on with craftsmanship. He had his issues and tended toward perfectionism which is goes to the control and overkill side, but that's the struggle of living and working with matter in a penguin-seal world!
I hate Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Williams, Tim Robbins, Susan Saradon, the BJ Hunnicut guy, brussel sprouts, the Boston Red Sox, commies and well, lawyers.

Seals are slippery and have tons more fun than suits and stuffed shirts who live in a one egg world where everything is black and white.
Ah, but those are King Penguins - it's good to be King.
I confused them with Emperors!
