Worth reading

I have little time for pithy entries these days. Fortunately, Kyburg has done an outstanding job discussing anger and tolerance. You really should take the time to read it.

How crazy am I?

Today I am at work all day for the first time in a couple weeks - I'm working halftime for June, then on a leave of absence for July to study for the bar.

And I'm loving it. I'm loving being here all day. It's nice not to have my day broken up into little chunks!

I'm actually not looking forward to the time off - not because I don't want to study for the bar, but because I will miss work.

I can't wait until this is all over and I can just work without having the exhaustion of school/studying.

Oh, wait. I remember now. It's called, "normal." How...foreign.

It makes me Raptor-ous!

Coming home from the bus stop today, I noted that the birds were extra-raucous on our street. Then two houses away from our home I came to a dead stop. There on the lawn under our tree stood a large hawk. I could hardly believe my eyes! After a minute or so, she flew off, limp remains of a rabbit in her talons. She only flew down the block about four houses, and landed in the top of the wine-leafed sycamore there. An hour or two later, the birds were still frantic.

I can only hope she did a little survey of this neighborhood and decided it was a veritable McDonalds, so is nesting in the top of the tree. The wild rabbit population is completely out of control here, and I'd love to see a little natural pest control move into the neighborhood.

I've decided to nickname her Orkin, if she stays.
