No rabies yet

I fed a pigeon today! I fed lots of pigeons really, but I also found out quite by accident that if you hold still and do your best impression of a civic monument that happens to be holding a small mountain of cracked corn, some of them will perch on you. I know that feral pigeons are just flying rats, but I felt like a special snowflake anyway as the feathered rodents fought and shoved over my handout. Now I want a pet pigeon.

I turned my back for several hours so the house is a disaster. The mister made an elaborate lunch. I'll bet my Annie's Annuals catalog that it still hasn't been cleaned up, not that I've not been guilty of letting these things bide for a day or two when things get hectic. I went back for thirds so I just might do it myself as a gesture of appreciation. And even though the kids bussed and washed their own plates, etc. the table and floor beneath is almost certainly still covered with small scraps of paper. A few days ago the kids discovered this site: Canon Paper Craft and the obsession of the moment is making 3D models made out of paper. The models are really kind of cool, but I think the scraps *poof* out of existence in their little universe just as soon as they fall free from the scissors. We now have a paper cat, a paper kitten, a paper tiger, a paper hamster, and a star destroyer, ditto.

5yo has three days of computer restriction. When it was time to go to his great-grandma's for dinner, he hid under the bed and would not come out.

eta: The Mister is vindicated.
