What's Up?

There isn't much excitement in my life, which seems to be my theme, eh? Since the last post only a couple things stand out. My memory isn't super hot these days. A group of us from work worked on a house for Habitat for Humanity in Ypsi. It was fun. The sponsor of this house puts up their houses much quicker than the house my church works on. I think our church house works only on the weekends and the one our work group worked on works throughout the week. Anyway, Habitat is a good group and I highly recommend volunteering with them if you're looking for that type of opportunity.

Thomas and I booked a cruise. We're going on the Ruby Princess to the Caribbean in February. February is when I'm about to go stir-crazy due to the weather. So, should be fun.

Not much else. There is a pigeon with a green band around his right leg that's been hanging out in my neighbor's yard. I talked to a bird rescue group and was told that it is some one's pet. I went to said bird group to get something to capture the bird and they gave me a butterfly net. Have you seen how small a butterfly net is? They said I might be able to net the head and shoulders of the pigeon. He/she won't let me get close enough is the problem. I might give up soon. I'll see if I can find it's owner by placing an ad in the lost and found.

I also saw a red bird with a black head in downtown Ann Arbor on Saturday. It wasn't a cardinal because the head was all black and it was bigger and rounder. Was it a domestic bird? It didn't act like it but that doesn't mean anything. I didn't see an image in my bird book that looked like this bird. Any ideas?

Out for now. I'm going to weed. Yeah!
