This morning, Raphaela asked for my iphone, and I asked her if she wanted to listen to music, or call one of her friends.  "No," she answered, "I want to play Angry Birds."

Speaking of birds, there are now three locations in my house where birds have tried to set up nests. I have been told that it is a sign of positive energies in the home, but I don't know if I want to live in an aviary. And why isn't my ferocious cat Harry doing anything about this situation?
