I like "White Fang" because it has a happy ending, and I love the whole part of White Fang in California. Especially the part where his master gives him permission to take off after the dogs that have been tormenting him.

Hubby had his spine looked at today. Looks like more surgery, as one of the disks is definitely blown and is causing the grief in his legs. Sigh. If we can get it done quickly, he could be back in shape by spring. Just in time for heart attack season, but we think we've got a lock on that due to the drug interactions. But I'm trying not even to think things like "The worst is behind us" and all that, because I can think of shitloads of worse things.
Sorry to hear that, connie. I got the hat, though. Thanks!

Oh wait.
