Mid-seventies in February. Hanging my hammock in the metro park.

The weather has been B-E-A-Utiful

Down by the river.

Heard this via TED and currently the speaker's name escapes me. If you spend one hour per day dedicated to your area of specialty, you will be a national expert in 5 years.

To accomplish a great thing you must have the arrogance to believe you can and the humility to put in the work your goal requires.

My new window! 2 days till my new home is prepared.

The awesome thing about owning a Senegal Parrot is how they bond with you. In the wild they are used to having a mate, however when they find themselves as your pet they make their bond to you. Ownership can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. 1. They will catch on to your personality. Senegal Parrots will mimic the sounds around them, including you. They will laugh when it is appropriate and speak, as well. Pixel will say things like, "good morning," "kiss goodnight," and whistle when a pretty lady walks in. 2. They will lay on their back Senegal Parrots can be very trusting of their owner and lay down in the palm of their hand. On many occasions Pixel has allowed me to pick him up and cradle him in my hand. (This often impresses people unfamiliar with birds) 3. Live a Long Time Unlike other domestic animals Senegal Parrots can live 30-50 years in captivity. They are excellent companions and can provide verbal conversations that are impossible for other animals. 4. They Are Small Senegal Parrots can vary in size. However the majority are small enough to lay down in an adult sized hand. Pixel can be loud, yet he doesn't squack like other larger Parrots and is apartment-friendly. 5. Easy to Train When Pixel came into my life he was already full grown. He would say,"Hi Pixel!" When I would come home from work. After sometime spent training Pixel began to say, "Hi Tim!" This took some repetition, but he learned quickly. If you decide to become a Senegal Parrot owner, I am sure you will enjoy your new friend. With patience and care this highly adaptable and entertaining bird will be your new avian amigo!

Evening grooming.

Do you know God is a Sad Teddy Bear? Since many put blame on him or deny his existence he finds himself a depressed, stuffed bundle of soft sewn fabric. He of course has a son named Jesus, but do you know about his other son? Stan Sron? More responsible and hard nosed Stan Sron brings order and justice to balance Jesus' lessons of grace and forgiveness. In the spiritual realm, the divine family has two cats. Hover Cat and Basement Cat. At one time they lived in Heaven together, but after Basement Cat tried to kill Sad Teddy Bear God by burning down the holy palace, Sad Teddy Bear God banished him to a life of dim-lighting and dry cat food in the basement of the newly constructed divine palace. Hover Cat on the other hand is an earth cat who comes and goes freely through a cat door at St. Peter's gate. She's a good kitty, although elusive, most are surprised when she makes her presence known. Outside of the constraints of time this unique group has created and designed galaxies, but for some unbeknownst reason they have an affinity for Earth. And it is on this planet that many of their adventures take place...

G'day fellow bird lovers!
