Hello, friends. What's been happening in your corner of the world? Any news?
My tidbit: I received the Excellence in Education Award last week where I work. And no I'm not an instructor. I received it in the staff category. But enough about me, what's going on with you?

What the Owls Said

On those nights when the owls are singing

I linger outside attempting to distinguish

Whether the Great Horned owls are

Or the Long-eared owls are

Or the Barred owls are

Or whether they all are

Here to accompany each other,

Filling the night air with

A dazzling chorus of improvisation.

And the Great Horned owl said,

Sing, brothers, of the glories of the night.

And the Long-eared owl said,

Yes, Yes.

And the Barred owl said,

Sing brothers; it is thy birthright.

Here I am, a paltry audience

Trying to write lyrics for

Music that transcends my voice.
