Okay, home computer not working. Virus is not getting cleaned off and the computer does not co-operate at all. I'm using an old laptop that moves slow - but is moving faster than the desktop. I really have a love/hate relationship with technology.

M is doing well. Staples from his head have been removed. In response to Missy's request - this little boy of three and a half has been to the emergency room five times. He's been stapled, stitched, glued, and probed (with a catheter). His first trip was because of a high fever that would not go down. Hence the catheter - to see if it was caused by an infection. He has been there twice due to severely cut fingers from soda cans - both times surgically glued. Then the stitches were from falling from a bench and landing on glass with his knee. This last trip was from a girl hitting him in the head with a plastic shovel because he was throwing sand at her. M is "all boy."

For the bird story, suffice it to say, the neighbors have been feeding some wild birds on a regular basis for about two years now. The flock has grown to about 85 birds now, mostly pigeons. These birds have decided on my house and two others in the neighborhood as their perch. It can be rather overwhelming to hear the entire flock take off at one time.
