Good Morning and welcome to another glorious winter day!
After the roller coaster that was 2010 crashed and burned last week, it's time to pick up the pieces. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't. Just have to take each day as it comes and hope for the best.
Anyway, one of the oddest stories of 2011 has been THIS ONE about the birds that suddenly crashed dead in Arkansas.
There were all kinds of rumors out there from secret government weapons testing to an alien attack.
The official word is the birds got confused after a fireworks display and dove, head-first, into the ground. Now, birds might not have the biggest brains in the world, but I find it hard to believe they would commit mass suicide after a fireworks display.
There has to be something more going on here. Right? Come on conspiracy people, what really happened?
Never mind, they just wanted to leave Arkansas as quick as possible.

Rise and Shine --- Bracketology
Good Morning and wasn't it nice to hear the birds singing this morning!
With all the running around this weekend (or, more specifically, sitting around at a conference), I didn't have a chance to fill out an NCAA Tournament bracket.
Usually, I am able to get around three done myself then have the children pick one and feel really bad by the end when they beat me.
This year, though, time just got away and, really, I forgot.
It's a good thing. I definitely would have picked Notre Dame, Georgetown and Marquette. When all three Big East teams lost (and Villanova nearly lost), my first thought was: 'At least I still have my five bucks!'
Seeing the weather report for the weekend made it even better. Now, when it hits 70 degrees, I won't feel the pull to put on a basketball game.
I might even try to play a basketball game, which will make my knees hate me even more.

Rise and Shine --- For the love of air
Good Morning and what was that stuff falling from the sky?!?
Noticed a disturbing trend over the last week. No, it wasn't the rain and what it was doing to the grass (jungle) out front. It appears people are cutting down trees like they are so much trash.
I saw two perfectly nice trees come down in the last two days. Now, people can do what they want. It's their property, but what is the justification? What, you are worried about raking leaves in the fall. You don't like shade infringing on your sunbathing? You hate birds?
I'm just trying to figure out the thought process. I could understand if the tree was dying and there was a safety issue, but, if the tree is perfectly healthy, why take it down?
There are enough streets, parking lots, malls and sidewalks that take away nature. If you have space, leave the tree alone.
Then again, it could be worse:
