Mostly meetings and a stupid cardinal

It was warm enough last night to leave a couple of windows ajar, which lets in fresh air along with every sound in the neighborhood. Also last night, an idiot cardinal found a convenient streetlight, stepped out of the shade, and said something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?" He started his serenade a little after 4 am, according to my Garmin sleep report, and continued well into the morning. I don't remember ever wishing for a cat as much as I did around 5.

Remember this little ode? Yeah. Really feeling it today.

I then had about 5 hours of meetings with various and sundry, with a vet visit sandwiched in for Cassie's annual wellness checkup. (She's in perfect health.)

I might have more creativity tomorrow. Anyway, I hope I do.

I recently watched the movies "Conclave" and "The Shoes of the Fisherman", so your first paragraph conjured a rather bizarre mental image. By way of thanking you, here's a cartoon from the Guardian, celebrating National Dawn Chorus Day, which this year falls (again) on Sunday 4 May: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/ng-interactive/2019/may/04/stephen-collins-on-the-dawn-chorus-cartoon
