    That's me, I'm Mookie, a black-footed albatross, somewhere in California.. I'm just standing in here until Giovanni (John) selects a photo and writes his bio. Not sure if that will actually happen. Good news: This wonderful story is under consideration by Pixar for a possible 3-D feature film. Hope you enjoy the book. Love ya, Mook.
