Gus speaks his peace

Up to this point, Gus has been a man of few words. But that's starting to change. And sometimes what he has to say needs to be delivered with some emphasis. Just hit the play button to get Gus' daily message of hope.

Christmas balloon

Jack's looking to go pro with his balloon act now that's he's paid his dues.

His technique is refined.

His finale memorable.

It all began Christmas morning with a gift of a single balloon.

Sure, Grandma and Grandpa doled out other fine gifts by the truckload.

But his mind was elsewhere: Mentally steeling itself to balance under that balloon.

Gus was a wellspring of encouragement.

And Jack thought a drum roll appropriate for the decision he was about to make.

"Hmmm...Are you sure you've thought this through?" Gus asked.

"I mean a balloon can hold only so much helium, right?"

"Maybe instead we could become wizards?"

"Oh wait, this is where you tell me wizards don't exist..."

"Yeah, yeah... But if that's true, explain the spell I just cast on you."

"It's gonna mess you up."

"Zeppi's in on it, too," Gus added.

"Silly, Gus. Where you been?"

"We already are wizards."

Costume drama

Gus and Jack got into the Halloween spirit. Gus opted to let the irony sail right on by, dressing as something he couldn't enjoy due to his absence of teeth. That left Jack to carry the candy load. And he didn't mind stepping up for the chore, even if he did find it surreal that he could march up strangers' stoops, rap on the door and be rewarded for the effrontery. He couldn't believe his luck. When he got home, he immediately pulled out a 2011 calendar, marking next year's date with a happy face.
