Day one in the saga of "Felix and Oscar And The Broken Hand" had a good start with Felix remembering to open medicine bottles, car doors and diet Pepsi bottles and Oscar remembering to order food that Felix did not have to cut into little pieces at the restaurant where they went to eat with one of Felix's old friends.
Afterwards a trip to Wapella brought them face to face with five adorable kittens that Oscar did not have to hold due to the splinted hand. Felix, on the other hand, had both hands free to play with and cuddle these little soccer balls.
In the evening, Felix dutifully cut little pills out of blister packs and placed them in a bottle, thereby proving that untrained nurses can still be very useful.
Then Oscar took a bath and Felix quietly perused some pictures, finding that even the shadows hold subjects of great interest, but as the shadows deepen around the house, Oscar and Felix will both go to their own rooms.
Oscar to dream of mowing the lawn on that distant day when the hand has healed. Felix to dream of stepping through the picture frame with great delight.
One of them will smile all night long.
