Jezebel

The "boys" came out today for a Birthday Tea. #2 Son's 41st birthday was on October 30th. #1 Son's 44th birthday is tomorrow. My birthday (never you mind how many) is on Tuesday. The Husband gets his own solo event on or around the 1st of December. Anyhoo, Jezebel is our granddog - she lives with #1 Son - and she is obsessed with balls. That green ball is hers when she's here - it stays here and she knows where it stays and goes straight in to ask for it when she arrives. It used to be Bugsy's ball (he is also ball obsessed) but he's lost interest in small balls - he's into basketballs now. We have a fairly extensive collection of balls that we have to keep in order to be ready when he succeeds in destroying one. Jezebel isn't nearly as rough on her balls - she just wants you to throw them for her so she can bring them back and get you to do it again. And again. And again. And...

Meanwhile! I'll be off in the early morning - heading to Panama for a birding trip. I'll be gone for 10 days. I'll try to post daily fabulous bird photos, but commenting is unlikely to be happening. The trip is organized by Bird Watcher's Digest (a very fine magazine) and is one of what they call their "Reader Rendezvous" series. Tomorrow's blip will probably be from an airport because I'll be in them - Charlottesville to Charlotte, Charlotte to Miami, Miami to Panama City - all day long. 

Tuesday - my birthday - is also election day here. You can be sure I have already voted via an absentee ballot!
