So, Non Birding Bill and I were leaving a parking garage after a tasty breakfast at the Uptown Diner. As I backed out he said, "If you back up a few spaces we can skip the top level and exit quicker."

"Yeah, but," I replied, "if we go straight we can look at the nest some crows are building!"

"Oh geez, of course, what was I thinking?" he responded.

I know he wasn't really excited, but I pretened he was. I think that's the secret to staying married for six years.
