He is now walking and for Atticus, it is a leap into a new sense of person hood. He is mobile, less dependent and more assertive. Nice move.

Owl Cameras



We have been watching owl cameras. In Boulder, the Xcel power plant has an owl nest with a web cam installed. Take a look at our Great Horned Owls.

Another live action link is in Italy, Texas. These are barn owls.

Wagner


Yesterday, Joan and Jim attended a live Met Opera presentation of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde. It was sublime. Joan and I couldn’t believe we spent 5 ½ hours seated. We cannot wait for another Wagner.
