I really should have cynically put the dead bird in a bag and thrown it in the trash bin.
Now I can’t stop looking at the spot where I buried it, thinking about it, wondering about it, sad about it. It’s creeping me out.

It occurs to me that I might have had a fun career as a cartographer. I remember that as I kid, I was very good at maps and such, especially with those standardized tests that gave a reading of my spatial skills. Maybe [more...]
Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. I was a bit preoccupied, spending my weekend in Baltimore with B. I was wondering this morning how — or if — I would describe my weekend here on the blog, not quite sure [more...]
Well, here I sit — well, stand actually, since I don’t have any furniture here yet — in the office at my new house, where the internet connection has just been installed. It seems to be working [more...]

Last week I found some birds NESTING in my hanging ferns. To the point where there were eggs and everything. But, those ferns were expensive so I took out the nests, eggs and all and placed them in the yard (to their eventual doom I suppose). So, in one ironic swoop, I aborted a few baby birds and pissed off a mother, and probably PETA (the PETA aspect I thoroughly enjoyed).
So, what was my justification? First off the momma birds kept spooking the crap out of me every time I’d water- like they were protecting something, huh, whatever. But like I said- those ferns were EXPENSIVE. Really it’s all about perspective and pocketbook.
Now, off to run my petroleum conglomerate.
Carry on.
