Birds that I am newly fond of
Because they keep me company as I run around the lake that's right by work*:
1. The Purple Martin
2. The Tree Swallow
3. Canadian goslings (although if they were born here, I guess they maybe qualify for American citizenship?)
4. The Redwing Blackbird
*I don't mean that I'm like a Disney Cinderella, with bluebirds fluttering about my blonde tresses and fetching my cloak. Just that they're all over.

Oh, but if you were a Disney Cinderella....or perhaps Aunt Remus, singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah with your avian familiars.
Great, thanks. Now you know just what song is going to be going through my head for the ENTIRE TIME I AM RUNNING TODAY. After I hug you next week, I may have to slap you upside the head. With love, of course.
I bought 3 pairs of shoes this week, one on the internet. But none while reading your post.
I'm interested in knowing about this lake that you jog around, but that's probably too specific for the blog.
Ok, Erma, I put in a link in the text. It's better than it looks on the interweb, though - seriously improving the quality of my life. There are all these interconnected trails running to it, and once you get to a certain point there is no traffic noise and just the lake and the sun and water lilies and a bullfrog (maybe two?) and twittering birds and me finally getting back into shape. People at work say things like "you're so disciplined!" but seriously it's like 80x better there than sitting in my office.
Ah, it's a lake (and park) that post-dates me. "The park was developed during the construction of the nearby Washington Metro rail line." But it's been almost 20 years since I lived in the area, so it's really shouldn't be a surprise.
