For Immediate Release
When Jeep MacNichol stopped by tonight to drop off his latest CD, "Mr. Anonymous," for Kimo, our killer pup Loki saw to it that he didn't make it very far. No sooner had the man stepped across our threshold than our hound of hell was jumping at his feet, determined to be recognized as MacNichol's ultimate fan.
"Out, out, damn dog!" Jeep cried, while Kimo did his best to wrangle the brazen beast away from Jeep's alluringly sharp gray pants.
Hands busy with Mali Zub, I jumped into the fray, knocking down building blocks and teething rings as I struggled to get my hands on that behemoth better known as the trickster dog Loki.
"ZAM!"
"POW!"
"Ker-plunk!"
The struggle continued for what felt like hours, me, covered in baby food, an 8-month-old in one hand, fur from the killer beast in the other; Kimo careening around the living room, diapers flying left and right as he leapt to Jeep's aid; Jeep, cool as could be, jumping over baby bolsters and brightly colored pillows in a bid for escape.
Alas, it wasn't to be. Loki was determined--attack Jeep he would, and attack Jeep he did. And yet, in the minutes before the police arrived, a spider saved the day, landing on Loki's back in a back-flipping catapult that he must have saved for only the most precarious of occasions. Somehow, it worked, and once we'd finally wrestled Loki to the floor, I was able to learn a little bit more about this man Jeep, who'd been the Samples' original drummer and was now promoting a pretty sweet-sounding CD he'd recently recorded in Jamaica, with some amazing musicians from the English Beat and Black Uhuru, to name just a few.
