kate_schaeferJust now, as I came home from my granddaughter's piano lesson, there was a hummingbird at the crocosmia lucifera in my front yard. It skittered up to about twelve feet in the air when I approached, then zoomed up above the house, darted toward the back yard, paused and pivoted, then flew toward and over me and away up the street.
William Safire had an editorial in the New York Times condemning the Supreme Court's refusal to hear Judith White and Matthew Cooper appeal of their contempt of court sentences. It's always nice to see a principled conservative stand up for civil liberties. Safire irritates me often, but I'm with him on freedom of speech and the serial comma.
And here I am, posting to LiveJournal.

I saw my first hummingbird in person on my sister's back porch about six weeks ago. I could wish for a garden with hummingbirds, I could even plan for one.
Good to hear you here - and seeing you at Wiscon.
