Chapter 1, page 1: As Mak woke up on the day before the much-anticipated April Fools' Day, her first observation was that it was a dark and dreary morning. As she yawned, stretched and scrunched up her pillow, she made her second, horrifying observation of the day. There was something on her pillow, something dark...slimy...squirmy...something decidedly non-human!.... to be continued......

What a day we've had! I'm busy consoling E right now because of the AI results, so I'll be back tomorrow to file our report.

Looking forward to it, Mak. Did you ever discover what that non human thing on your pillow was? It sounds a lot like my ex wife.

Lol, no. It was E of H, who said I can just call him Mr. Happy. Our day got off to a rough start. I have an abnormal aversion to worms, especially if they're on my pillow. My ear-shattering scream seemed to scare Mr. Happy, who took off for parts unknown! He didn't get far, when I heard a commotion in the kitchen. I got there just in time to catch a glimpse of a dawg tail running out the back door. The dawg, who shall be referred to as JJ2BD, had, fortunately for me stepped in mud before arriving. It was easy to follow the muddy pawprints right to LittleC's folder. Things were chaotic there, so I just slipped in, rescued Mr. Happy, and left a decoy in case JJ2BD checked the styrofoam cooler again. Phew! Thank goodness the day quickly improved and Mr. Happy and I were able to spread happiness and peace throughout the town. After the trauma, I treated the poor, trembling Mr. H. to a warm bubble bath and then shared my favorite body lotion. We then went out for a tour and to run errands. The major challenge was buckling the seatbelt around Mr. H., but we figured it out. He loved the smell of money at the credit union. We certainly got some strange looks at the grocery store, where Mr. H. sat proudly upright in the cart's baby seat. I'm sure people were envious! I almost lost him once, when he leapt towards the beer cooler. I had to search high and low, but finally found a leash, and we had no further problems. We went for a long walk in the afternoon when the sun came out. Mr. H. tired pretty quickly and had to ride in my pocket for most of the way. Passing a playground, he heard a gaggle? tribe? pride? den? harem? school? flock? (whatever you call a group of worms) of worms frolicking and begged to play with them. I said ok, but reminded him to be responsible, as his spaying/neutering hasn't taken place yet. Ahem! I'm not sure if these were the type of worms we want Mr. H. to associate with, but he sure was happy! I'll post pictures, so you can see what I mean. I couldn't tell their ends apart, but they were all over each other and there were secretions of some sort. It looked rather shocking to me. I bribed Mr. Happy with a snack to get him to leave. He was more than happy with his snack of beer and a mashed Maine wild blueberry. Mr. H. visited the neighborhood kindergarten, proud to be little Johnny's show-and-tell. What a trouper he is! Well, Adven, I had my doubts, but this has been a life-altering experience. Thank you for this honour. Best wishes to all future recipients of the E of H!

Wow, Mak. First Lori and now you. These heart-warming, life-altering E of H stories fill Warren and I with pride. We just gave each other a manly hug. Thanks for sharing. There will be no E of H bestowed today. Warren has come down with a particularly nasty disease, a private matter between worm and doctor. The penicillin should clear it right up.

Um, I was going to come in and post my E of H story, but now I'm thinking I took this award thing the wrong way. I took my little E fishing, er, swimming the other evening. He protested that he didn't know how to swim, so I thoughtfully provided a hook and a string for him to hang onto, but apparently he couldn't hold his breath as long as I had estimated, so he, well, drowned. But I got a nice fish dinner out of it. So I'm still happy. I hope this news doesn't delay poor little Warren's recovery....

Lol Mak. I loved the pictures. Sounds like I better keep a lookout for those worms that Juju is dropping off for Juju B.

Obviously, Hip. And I thought that little E of H would be safe with Kar. Little did I know she would make the poor little guy walk the plank. I think I'm going to insist on a background check from now on. Let's see, that's two dead worms, one eaten, one in detox, one with a sexuality identity problem and who knows how many stolen. I've got to find some way to stop the madness.

*****pssssttt***** We school teachers are a pretty trustworthy bunch! Being bookworms ourselves (especially we English teachers), we have a desire to protect the "little guy" and ensure his LONG life, health and happiness. The only dangers we must guard against are the BIG books with hardcovers! They are just too heavy for those E of Hs!

Okay, TM, I've had you checked out by the Earthworm Abuse Registry and you're clean. There was that one incident with the cricket back in the 80's, but you were young and we're going to overlook it. Just watch out for Juju. She's evil incarnate. Today's winner of the E of H is < tinkle of the triangle > Teachmichigan! In my exhaustive research, I was surprised to learn she is a teacher from Michigan. Teach enjoys randomly failing her students just to get their parents worked up and is the author of the self-help book, "Bass Fishing Naked". One day she hopes to become a Formula One driver because she thinks gasoline smells good.

Congratulations, Teach! I liked your little, subtle hint whispered above. A well-fitting leash is a must. There are just so many dangers out there for E of Hs...Juju, stilletoes, cars, worms from the wrong side of the tracks, and the returning migratory birds. They are hungry when they get back here! Peace and happiness to you!

Warren is still experiencing some discomfort and the penicillin is making him downright giddy. He will be away tomorrow morning, but back on Sunday to bestow yet another honor.

Today's E of H is being bestowed on < little blow on the bassoon > Lancecrossfire! Lance hails from the great state of Oregon where the sports teams are called the Beavers and Ducks. No, really. In his spare time Lance likes crashing church socials and lying down in the road and pretending he's drunk. One day he hopes to move to South America and become a war criminal.
