Last night Non Birding Bill mentioned that Mr. Neil was doing a reading and signing and asked if we should go. I gave my standard answer: "Is it bird related?" We both knew the answer, but I went anyway. He was reading from his new collection of short stories called Fragile Things, which has a cute little story about teen dating gone weird.

Banding, packing, getting to Duluth, book travel to Cape May, sign a couple of contracts and put them in the mail, do at least one more blog entry and at some point I need to try and squeeze in a weights workout--all of this before 5:30pm. Hmmm, I wonder which thing on that list is going to fall to the wayside?
