nature!
It's difficult to concentrate in...um...the entire springtime. Case in point, the following instant messaging exchange between my buddy/boss and myself. Also during this timeframe was a work-related phone conversation with her, in which I also stood at the back window and talked about the squirrel in my tree, and the birds at the feeder, and the hummingbird staring right at me. And people wonder why I'm writing about Muir.
jcmeloni (5/3/2006 9:54:17 AM): we have three goslings!
my boss (5/3/2006 10:14:57 AM): neat
jcmeloni (5/3/2006 10:16:38 AM): except for the stupid bastards across the pond, they're trashy and loud and have a yippy dog. today I saw/heard the loudmouth guy go out and go "rawr!" and flap his arms to scare away the daddy goose. it was only then that I saw the little yellow puffs run toward their mother (and the daddy spread his wings to protect them). if those fuckers do anything to them, I'll do something about it. don't know what, but something.

jcmeloni (5/3/2006 10:43:06 AM): i just lured the goslings & parents over with food. hopefully they'll get the hint that this side is safe (and they all swam over)
my boss (5/3/2006 10:43:30 AM): good for you

jcmeloni (5/3/2006 11:05:45 AM): and four baby ducks!
my boss (5/3/2006 11:06:21 AM): it's a regular nature preserve! now stop looking out the window and get back to work! :)
jcmeloni (5/3/2006 11:06:26 AM): no shit
