The birds are back
And so am I.
Yes, it's really full tilt spring around here because the first round of nestlings have hatched in the wall gap where our secondary air conditioner lives. We can hear them quite well, even through the duct tape. I think they are probably starlings, and according to an article I read (and only vaguely grasped) in the online New York Times last week, they are working on some kind of language development project.
I hope they don't need any help with it, because all this past week, due to overzealous phlegm production resulting in the usual bronchitis attack, I have been the embodiment of the popular saying, "I can't brain today. I have the dumb."
Hence no posting or email and only a precious few short comments here and there. But in case anyone was wondering, yes, I am alive and more or less on the mend.
