We wanted to dress the Boxcar Baby up as a letterpress, but we couldn’t decide: Vandercook or C&P? C&P or Vandercook? Heidelberg Cylinder? Vandercook? The penguin costume was our compromise.

The Boxcar Baby decided he wanted to see the Canadian Rockies, not next year, not next month, but RIGHT NOW. He booked a flight, made reservations at various places of lodging, and hoped to sneak away with his parents noticing, because he is 22 months and can do things by himself now, thank you very much. However….his parents spotted him in his Little Tykes car on the way to the airport and decided they probably needed to go with him. So the Boxcar Baby is taking his parents on a grand tour of the Canadian Rockies! We will have all sorts of adventures to tell you on this blog once we return. Look for more posts in early October, and take care!
Things were looking bad before Jasper showed up to help repair our Linotronic 560. About one hour after our Rochester-based (adult) service technician did his routine maintenance this morning, our imagesetter broke down for the first time in its two year stint at Boxcar Press. Coincidence? Bad timing? No matter, Jasper was still in Syracuse to help his dad and Anthony disassemble and reassemble the machine. We were back up and running before bed-time. And yes, Jasper is wearing his favorite t-shirt. If anyone is in need of imagesetter repair, Jasper’s rates are 30 blueberries/hour plus travel expenses (Cheerios).
We’re just doing the occasional post as this blogger (with the Boxcar Baby in tow) is traveling to warm weather places to visit with family. We realized we hadn’t posted pics of the Boxcar Baby lately….he has been spotted riding a big wheel around the offices, and also eating oranges while standing on top of the Boxcar Dada’s desk. Childhood sure looks fun….
