I think everyone has one or two of these types of things laying around the house. I have been given an unbelievable assortment of “Parrot Stuff” over the years, but I think this by far is one of the of the funniest! The colors are completely wrong and the head is made of plastic. Unlike [...]

Do you ever have times in your life when things get so busy you have to think about finding the time to get even the most mundane things done? The work and “busy stuff” that needs to get done comes pouring in a like a thunderstorm. Welcome to my world lately! Good God! I’ll admit [...]

“All you have to do is live.” That’s a quote by David Sedaris, one of my favorite authors. He was talking about being able to find material to write about. I happen to love his writing style and he inspires me to no end. He and I are a lot alike in that we write [...]

Quito, Ecuador One of the things about flying for an Airline, is that you never know what’s going to happen next. I was contentedly flying to Haiti, month after month out of Fort Lauderdale when the earthquake hit. We stopped service and I was thrust into the wake vortex that is known as “Availability.” This [...]

When I was a kid, my Mom would occasionally make “Franks and Beans” for dinner. She referred to them as “Teenie Weenie Beanies.” Why? I have no idea. Probably because I was about four and when she wasn’t talking to me like I was a full-blown adult, (which was most of the time…) she had [...]
House Call

I had some visitors yesterday: These are Egyptian Geese. The only reason I know this is because I spotted them on the golf course around Christmas when I was working on another post. I snapped this photo and sent it to Steve Malowski, “Lead Cheese in Charge” at the Cincinnati Zoo Bird House: Naturally he [...]

I dislike trophies. I believe in gift cards, useful items and things you can actually use. Trophies are great the first day until you have to figure out what in God’s name to do with them. I’ve noticed that Pilots who have previously flown in the Military have talked about their “Hero Wall.” I saw [...]

I got the nicest surprise the other day that was almost as gratifying as watching my Greys suck down about a pound of “Chop” right after I make it: I was zipping through my email while simultaneously slurping down coffee and putting on makeup for work when I came across this email: blog: Parrot Nation [...]

My neighbor Sheila stopped by yesterday. She occasionally helps me out around the house when I get so overwhelmed with things, I can’t keep up. If it wasn’t for her I’d never get through my “Job+Job+Job” situation. She and her best guy, Jon are also kind enough to look after the birds when I have [...]
Off to Ecuador…Again

A lot of people “know” about Ecuador. This means they’ve read about it, or saw it in Geography class. I was in the same boat before I actually flew there. About all I remembered was that it was mountainous, the Equator ran through it, and they had a lot of Llamas. I got the trip [...]
