i'll go out on a limb and say starlings are my favorite bird today. i started out fasting after a coffee which may not have been the smartest thing but i needed to get my body pumping. charlie was kinetic. the kid needs a longer lead. i think i said that already. there was excitement on the midway mainly sparked by the starlings who are always excited. they convene on the fire escape and sing silly songs and jump around the window ledges ogling and teasing the cats til they hurl themselves at the screen. yeah dog, i still got a gut bug. but i no longer imagine it's a ball of cancer.
