Goes by the name of Bingo

Amy my love,

Shoot!  So sorry to have missed our sunset rendezvous.  I had actually stopped by your house this evening, with a peace offering of my own.  No one was home so I let myself in.  Regretfully the boa constrictor I’ve been looking after this weekend for Xander’s 1^st grade class slipped out of my purse while I was inside.  He’s fairly small and shouldn’t pose any threat.  Unfortunately he hightailed it into your heating duct before I could get my hands on him.  He should come out when he gets hungry enough, you could leave out a small mouse or perhaps a dead squirrel, I hear you’ve got a lot of them around these days.  With the days getting shorter he may go into an early hibernation, especially if he starts nesting in your walls so it might be late spring before you actually see him, of course by then he may have grown several feet and be a bit more frisky.  The children told me that he is easily agitated by music and especially dislikes accordion music and holiday tunes in particular. Under no circumstances should you practice the accordion while he is in the house, especially if you are on the telephone, this may send him into mouth foaming fits and he may bite.  Just a quick heads up on that one.

Sleep with one eye open!
