Not my carry-ons… I have next week off. Not that I didn’t pay for it with a mind-bending schedule of flying one hell of a lot in order to align these days off. It was just a lot of trip-trading with friends and shuffling days off around in order to accomodate the need to work [...]

Janet’s Portuguese Water Dogs Looking Ahead We’re wrapping up what I referred to in an earlier post, “An Eventful Year.” Yes it was. And not just for me, but for the Avian Community and the world. Not all of it was positive. Not all of it was a step in the right direction. But the [...]

I did a “quick and dirty” version of my cooked bean mix for my birds. I wanted to make them today and I had to go to the store for beans so rather than soak them overnight, I did a “fast cook” version of my usual method, drained and rinsed them and then added the [...]

Yesterday, I had a Flight to San Juan. I had to be at the airport at eight a.m. for a nine a.m. departure. Out to San Juan, sit for a couple of hours and come back. Land about five and with the rush hour traffic, I’d be home by about 6:30 or 7:00 in time [...]
