Those of us who might be called just a little, um, goal-oriented can learn from you, so it's a total symbiosis.<BR>I know well that spacy head that comes from too much relaxation...just can't remember when I last had it...I think it was after a Shila session of craniosacral therapy, when I turned out into traffic right in front of a Ford Fairlane.Julie Zickefoosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16920471390334508132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-16953017925681996402006-10-11T08:59:00.000-04:002006-10-11T08:59:00.000-04:00Jimbo: Next year we'll do a September Squat in the...Jimbo: Next year we'll do a September Squat in the third week of the month and we might top 75 species.<BR><BR>Patrick: Sandy Hook might be the best single Big Sit spot in NJ.

The weather was beautiful; I met some really cool people and the BIRDS! Oh! And Chet!<BR><BR>I believe I am still experiencing the high. Back in the big city, I am failing to function. Monday, I completely forgot that I promised a co-worker I would help her with a program and I barely got the kids off to school in decent time. Tuesday, I left my purse at the Wendy’s in Athens after my son’s Cross Country meet. Today is Wednesday! What will I do today? (First, I need to hit the Wendy’s in Athens on my way to Columbus!) Maybe I need to consult my favorite realtor, Steve, to find me an “almost heaven” home like Julie and Bill’s. <BR><BR>I can’t thank you two enough. I had a wonderful time. I am completely hooked and Santa will be calling soon for some advice on optics!Marcynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-36971551672976045192006-10-10T23:32:00.000-04:002006-10-10T23:32:00.000-04:00What's that fishing rod thingy hanging off the cor...What's that fishing rod thingy hanging off the corner of the tower?

You list 18 species that we missed and were around, and remember, I had that Wood Duck scant minutes away in Whipple on my drive in, for 19 BS (Big Sit) area birds that we choked on! That would have been a total of 82!!!We would have made the New York Times with that!<BR><BR>Thanks as always for yours and Jules extraordinary hospitality, and it was great to see everyone!<BR><BR>Jim McCormacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
