I can’t believe that Winnie the Pooh is 86 years old today! The book about my favorite bear begins like this:

Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Cristopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think about it.

Happy birthday Winnie the Pooh!
