"TaleRocker" was the name of a character in a kids' story that Jim wrote for his nephews in 1991.
The character was a humourous little guy who looked like he was part dragon and part pug, and maybe
a lot of his parts were part 'something else'- he claimed to have the genetic codes for all creatures, "not  
quite dormant" in his dna, only he had three strands of dna so he called it "tna". He had webbed feet and
a strong, stubby tail that he could curl and sit back against and actually rock back and forth on while he
played his guitar and sang some of the sillyest songs six to eight years could imagine. (the kids probably
never realized they were making the songs up when they called out silly titles and Jim would look            
shocked and say, "How did you know that song? You must have heard him play- wow, I didn't know that."

We live in a cute little house in a
terribly civilized town outside of Ottawa

and our spotted and striped Domino

Latest addition, Jassper

is trying hard to learn
how to play with cats.
(The cats are trying just as hard
to train Jassper not to bother).
