Ever heard an owl?

I woke up in the middle of the night last night (or I should say really early this morning) and heard an owl. 

He would make several warbling sounds I can't quite describe, followed by "hoo, hoo, hoo." 

I started counting the seconds between the end of one group of sounds and beginning of another: one, one-thousand, two, one-thousand...and I'd get to five before he started up again. He was in quite a rhythm.

Eventually it seemed to stretch to six seconds between outbursts, then suddenly all was quiet.

Did he go to sleep or catch his prey? Hmm....

Home again

So the kids are home for their summer vacation, even though it's only May. The school year certainly flies by.
We're happy to have them home; we hope they're happy to be back. It's a whole different lifestyle and I'm guessing they may need a few days to readjust, and sleep. R&R and all.

One of them has a job waiting for her. Yay!
One needs to find a job. Keeping fingers crossed that something comes up.

Anyone having computer problems and needing technical consultation via phone, e-mail, instant message, whatever?
He's available, for a fee. Just a thought.

Getting a bit frisky

It was the scampering about that woke me up. But at least it was 5 a.m. scampering, not the 2 a.m. variety.

It sure must be nice to HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY and be able to party all night and SLEEP ALL DAY.
