Life is not for the birds!

It's Saturday night, BYU lost last night to UNLV, it rained like crazy today, and to top it off, we have to set our clocks forward one hour!  That's a reminder for all of you out there that may read this blog and are wondering why it appears that you're running a bit late today...yes, you forgot to set your clocks, and watches forward.  It doesn't bother me, the loss of one hour in my day.  For some (Bill), it does bother them, but, what the heck, just sleep in one more hour the first day.
Spring Break is almost over, and I have four classes of vocabulary tests to correct, but forgot my grading key.  One more thing that will have to wait until I get to school.  Dang, I wanted to be ahead of things this quarter, but I'll get it done.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a bird (any kind, preferably the kind that can fly)?   I watched quite a few good sized birds while on the California beaches last week, and I wondered just what they did with all their time.  Here's a few pictures that got me to thinking.
















This big guy appears to be setting sail for the open sea.  I wish him luck, and as Bette Midler used to sing, " you're the wind beneath my sail."  Corny, I know, but only because I ate too many yummy corn nuts at the farmer's market.
