The Squid

My Mom, Naomi Berenberg Leavitt, made this magnificent watercolor of a squid for me as she was preparing for her move to Connecticut. She knows that I am an inveterate teuthophile (squid buff), and she did a great job nailing down this guy's fierce oegopsid eye, tentacle club, and suckered arms.

Although Hanukkah is less than a week away, Eva Rose, Barbara, and I could not wait any longer to open our presents from Naomi.—JDL
