Felix Truman Simpson?


This is what Felix looks like Simpsonized. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of little Tru this post. I've been very busy at work this month and have had to put in overtime. That has not left me much time to snap pictures. Sorry.
Before I forget, my uncle Kevin and Aunt Fran took a trip to Napa Valley and toured Mondavi Winery. They sent me this picture though I'm not sure why. I did my best to decipher this code but the best I could come up with is 'iron 59', whatever that means. I'm not sure why they thought I would know it's meaning, I'm not some kind of Rosetta Stone.
Anyway, Felix has made up a word. I'm not talking about some gibberish, or a couple of cute, nonsensical syllables thrown together to describe something he doesn't know or can't enunciate. Outside my bedroom window is a cherry tree that spiders love. Consequently, we will often get a spider making a web in the window frame. So Felix, Renae, and I are sitting on our bed watching this spider make her web. Felix really gets into watching things like this, he points at it, asks what's it doing, makes comments about it. This time, after she had been busy for a while, the spider stops for about 30 seconds or so and then starts up again. Felix got very excited and told us, "Look, he's spideying again". Spideying, as in 'to spidey', is the new verb invented by Felix. That is not to be confused with Spiderman's goofy little nickname that is too juvenile for a grown man, or the adjective that describes his radiogenic senses. Sorry webhead (a more age appropriate nickname), it's Felix's.

Felix, "Iron-boy 59", oddly, Iron-59 is actually an Iron isotope.
a gamma and beta emitter with a half-life of 44.51 days; used as tracer in study of iron metabolism, determination of blood volume, and in blood transfusion studies.
Maybe Felix is destined for a life in the medical field
