I bumped into a little Basil (pronounced the British way) yesterday and at first thought the mom said Spazele (spaz-ul). I've decided it's a great name for a cat. Thoughts? (I was relieved when I realized it was Basil instead of some extremely odd family surname.)
The moral of Pete's story is: No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song... because it's all good.
