All You Really Need To Know About Me

Fact: I was in bed at 10:30 last night.

Conclusion: I am an old fart who prefers the comfort and safety of home over staying out too late and getting too drunk to drive home.

Fact: I received this from the Engineer for my birthday (it was December 28) and I am now utterly obsessed with it.

Conclusion: I am a HUGE bird nerd.

(My favorite call so far is that of the Common Eider. Oooooh!)

Happy 2011 everyone!

Aside: what will your moniker of choice be for the new year? Will you say "two thousand eleven" or "twenty eleven"? I'm going with "twenty eleven," myself. If we say "two thousand eleven" we will sound too French, รก la "deux mille et onze," and we don't want to sound FRENCH, mon Dieu!

That bird book kind of needs to be mine. There is a park up the street that they actually bait for the different birds that nest here in the winter. There are two big information stations with pictures/descriptions of each kind and which ones are here usually and which ones are just hangin' out til the big thaw.

Fact: I may have stayed up last night, but it's a Saturday night tonight and I'm in with no plans to drink. Actually, I'll be asleep by 10pm. We tied!

And my vote is for twenty eleven.

Happy New Year!
