My office in Houston once had a secretary from Ithaca. To our Texas ears, she talked funny, especially when she said "Ithaca". I would say something like "You thound like you have a lithp when you thay 'Ithaca'", and being a proud New Yorker, she would toss back an equal measure of Texiz-speak. Once when I wasn't moving down the hall fast enough for her, she kicked my in the bee-hind, the only time that ever happened to me at work -- well, literally, at least.

Crow story for crow, happened today- I had a pair of mallards in the ditch and 5 crows by the ditch. No big deal. But two of the crows were taking turns hovering as close as a foot over the mallards. I got the binoculars and the ducks didn't seem to mind. The ducks were splashing and stirring up grasses from the bottom and the crows were plucking the tidbits from the water like seagulls!!! Why do seagulls fly over the sea? If they flew over the bay, they would be baygulls (bagels).

A warm welcome, crow, Some people come visiting with cookies or a cake or flowers, but you always arrive on my cyber-doorstep with a beautiful poem. I am hoping that we can "walk out on that watery sunpath into another country where, like children, we would do little but play with the quiet and learn our colors again." I think we all felt a lot like that in the early Feelies and DAR days and would like to feel that safe again.
