So, Non Birding Bill keeps a blog on Live Journal and today I discovered his secret for being entertained while I'm gone:

Birdchick leaves Sunday for two weeks plus like half a day. I plan on reverting to full bachelor mode, which in my case means watching the same episode of MST3k over and over again while playing Zelda on my Powerbook. Microwave chow, or I might go crazy and cook some Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee Ravioli. You know what would be great? If they could just make a bag of Bill Chow, and sell it. They could have my picture on it, so I'd know it was for me.

For those who don't know MST3K is Mystery Science Theater 3000--he loves that show. I also discovered what he wants for Christmas this or even better this. I'm going to miss my big wonderful nerd.
