An Abacus for Edwin!

The Johnsons, our next door neighbors, have decided to give up the countless adventures offered by Newport (e.g., high speed car chases, evenings at The Brass Ass, and the daily parade of litter that is Newport High School kids walking to school) for the greener pastures of the suburbs. They've been kind enough to give us some of their kids' old belongings that won't be making the move.

We definitely hit the jackpot with one item in particular: an abacus. With any luck Edwin will be reducing fractions by Christmas.

P.S.: That comment about "reducing fractions" was in no way some sort of subliminal joke about the trend of my current employer's stock price since I joined in 2002...
