The further adventures of Simeon von Pumpernickel

As you probably know, Simeon von Pumpernickel decided to break into showbiz by mailing himself to my sister, who was on a film set at the time.

This did not work according to plan.

However, since my sister recently finished what she'd been doing, she generously offered Simeon a chance to accompany her back to New York City. I'm sure Simeon was excitedly imagining the stuff of champagne wishes and caviar dreams, or at least a first-class seat to JFK or LaGuardia.

He was slightly disappointed to have to fly coach.

However, he is a resilient fellow and has bounced back admirably.

I just hope he doesn't get it into his head to try breaking onto Broadway by mailing himself to the Nederlander or anything.
