OK, thought I was better. Slept most of the day, got up at 1500 (3P) to mail a book out for Book Mooch. Got home, harnessed the pups. A little queasy, but not too bad, until I got just over half-way out. Oh, no! Getting dizzy. I made it back (to... Read more

The Birds!
Friday, December 31, 2010      5 comments

I'd left the bird cage open last night before I went to work - I do that sometimes to let them fly around. Usually, they return to the cage after a bit. When I get home, I close the cage, cover it, and they sleep while I sleep. Not today! ... Read more
