Watched a hunting peregrine falcon from my office window and another raptor, much larger, stopped in for an inspection. Didn’t look much like a bald eagle, but could have been a juvenile; they don’t have the markings yet. I don’t know of any other sizable birds of prey in this area.
Lost my fountain pen. For real this time. About 8 years ago, a motherly Christmas gift. It had some serious sentimental value. I could buy the same model & color from Staples, but it wouldn’t be the same.
Great MetaFilter post on Wendell Berry. I’d read Feminism, the Body, and the Machine before, but he’s got a sizable body of work and some serious wisdom on community, environmental, educational and just about any other sort of attitude adjustment you might think the world needs. He’s a poet too.
I’m scheduled to be interviewed by a Boston University journalism graduate student this Saturday about Tremonter and my apparent status as a citizen journalist. Tremonter woke up from its regular winter nap this week. Nice to see.
