(My father always said to me, “Kid, with your mouth, you ought to become an attorney.”) Well, I got a few of [...]

I have risen to a challenge. My friend Irena Schulz, Founder of “Bird Lovers Only Rescue” and Snowball the Dancing Cockatoo’s Caregiver made a comment a while back about how she thought that I could write about phone books and she would still be entertained. Irena posted the following as a response to one my [...]

Emma is my Postal Person who brings me the occasional letter, card, paycheck, BIRD TALK Magazine, and a plethora of junk mail. She also brings a pile of those local free papers.
