I think he took me birdwatching when we were dating...and as you know we lived by the entire family at that point. So no excuse. I have to say though, I think we're all pretty awesome nerds. Who shouldn't pay attention to the amazing creatures and nature around us? In Boston it is especially serene to be walking down a city street littered with garbage and loud vehicles passing by only to be swept away from all the chaos when you notice a bright red male cardinal perched on a tree above. I would much prefer to forget about all the other noise and just hear the song. I'm so gald I married into a family of birdwatchers....never occured to me before....aren't you outside just to play sports? (still love my sports...just spreading my wings a bit :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034351278318161255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187611684021621606.post-11125846327613241762009-03-09T20:03:00.000-07:002009-03-09T20:03:00.000-07:00There are some great ones--but I don't know what a...There are some great ones--but I don't know what any of them are. And whenever I ask the Ayi or the driver, they look at me funny, then say slowly and carefully in chinese: "Bird." They probably think I'm slow.Olivia Meiklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728389819022367881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187611684021621606.post-74056847356654234402009-03-08T09:40:00.000-07:002009-03-08T09:40:00.000-07:00I just read this out loud to Rich with voices and ...I just read this out loud to Rich with voices and everything and we both had a hearty chuckle.
