CC--I know the feeling of heffalump-ishness! Sorry to hear your tires were so recalcitrant today. Better luck tomorrow. The weather report says rain and HAIL today...not riding bike to work. Didn't get up and run. Feel just plain lumpish. Going to do some yoga stretches, then to work at the clinic, and a night shift at the hospital. If rain and hail don't bring the babies, I don't know what will! L.

Yup - I think I have a cold. At least I'm not as stuffed up today. Luckily I have a very competent technician and postdoc and summer worker. They are stocking 7500 itty bitty catfish into 150 tanks today.

Nanci - did the wren ever decide to take to the nestbox?

Lise - Good luck with photo guy. Have you seen the mystery pannier-no-helmet-flirty guy lately?

I'm going home soon. I need to make finishing touches on a manuscript and my brain has decided to phase out on me. Lovely.

No, the wren wouldn't check out the birdhouse in the alotted time frame. The holes in the truck are blocked off, and the beautiful birdhouse is hanging in the tree, not too high, in the tree the truck parks under...

I was hoping she would build a new nest in it. Maybe next year.

Had lunch - feeling a bit better. Here's an odd tidbit...I don't know if I've posted this info before, so excuse me if I have - the brain is not fully functional today. I have been taking Allegra since last summer (helps with contact allergies to just about everything) and I've noticed this year that I am not reacting to mosquito bites. I don't swell up, I don't itch, there's no sign of being bit. Wierd, but makes sense in a way.

Maybe still this year! I had moved her whole nest in there, but after the next day, I took out most of the nesting material, leaving just clean Timothy hay.

My new avatar, BTW, is me and Dill, the older bird (back in his and my younger days!) And yes, he, like all "doves of peace," bites!!! Not all the time, though. And it doesn't hurt unless he gets the inside of my arm or somewhere sensitive. I don't really care.

crazy- I actually postponed my swim workout to watch the game... game 7 of the final, wouldn't miss it. However, I didn't watch Coaches Corner. The other night, game 6 I think, I was annoyed b/c DC just talked about the previous game rather than the first period...

In-laws are in town. We had a good visit last night and the crabs were great! I was feeling better this morning, so I went out for a quick run. Felt good at first...ran further than I have so far... then hit a virtual brick wall and walked like a slug back to the house. Peachy.

Haven't seen him. Last week I saw him Thurs (riding south from home to volleyball), and Friday (riding from the north home from work). I didn't ride today because they were predicting severe thunderstorms and hail. It rained a smidge in the morning. It's now 1:30PM, and bright and sunny out! No hail yet. Rain, fer cryin' out loud! I didn't ride my bike!
