Haha aok. When I was working full time and taking 2 night classes, I used to be so tired, that when the alarm went off, I'd think to myself, "If I were dead, I wouldn't have to get out of bed."

Hi jim, Don't buy a newspaper - Google and Facebook have been sucking away their advertising lifeblood. Our communities are losing the serious, in-depth, mainly responsible investigation of a variety of issues which they provided and many are concerned that our knowledge of, concern for and discussion of our communities' issues is deteriorating and suffering. These issues are not only important in a free and democratic society but crucial to its continuing health, and the first thing that a number of recently-hatched dictators have done is to force them and other major news media into subservience or shut 'em down. Don't buy a small non-chain store, for the increased efficiency and power of the chains made life difficult for them in earlier times ... and now the likes of Amazon, Shopify (did you buy shares last year to more than quadruple your investment?) and their ilk are burying them (with help from covid19). Very uncertain times - especially for societies where people need to know and respect other people and agencies and be able to discuss issues and work through problems to solutions in order to function. Good wishes as you plan and work toward implementing your responsibilities in this society and culture that has been so dear to us. ole joyful

I love the bird video! My cockatiel loved to dance. He would tap dance, shake his tail feathers, and bob his head, and sway from side to side. I would play music and tell him to dance. He was so cute. I miss him very much. Every once in a while I swear I hear him whistling 😂
