Announcing the Triumphant Return of a Silly Old Bear

Do you know what that’s like?  "But we came all the way from Texas."  "But we came all the way from England."  "But we came all the way from Germany."  Gah!  Please, please take this I’m-sorry-there’s-no-Winnie-the-Pooh postcard and forgive me, people.  Forgive me.

Well no longer!  To my infinite delight I came into work yesterday to find an old friend waiting for me.  Yes!  Just behind the reference desk in The Children’s Center on 42nd Street (a.k.a. in the-library-with-the-lions) the original Winnie-the-Pooh toys are back on display!!  There they sit in their carefully controlled, dark little room.  And to my infinite pleasure when someone came in yesterday asking "Where is Winnie-the-Pooh?" I was able to make a quarter turn to my left and say loud and proud, "THERE!  There’s the rascal!  Have at ’em!"

Or something to that effect.
