What a set up there was in handball! That ball was just the right height for a killer.

I minimized myself on the walk around the building and entered the handball tourney. There were games going on all around the building. On each pillar there were matches set up and the roster was completely invisible to me when I was maximized, but, when minimized, I was amazed that I had missed it. Brotha had included me again, knowing that although I had said no thank you to his personal invitation; on the day of the matches I couldn't help but change my mind. He said you will have no pain as soon as the whistle blows, your knee will amazingly feel no pain. I took him up on that and he was certainly right about that.
Brother had me scheduled for center court, although I can never understand why he always does that to me. A tough cookie those leprechauns are. They can ski and play handball tourneys in the same day. Not me! It was all that I could do to keep up with them in handball. Brother had the photographers take a picture right when the killer happened. Like he knew it was going to happen. That girl is going to be something when she gets her head together. Yep, I said and we winked at eachother. I hate handball, I said. I know he said, what do you like. Nothing I said. I know he said. Just keep doing nothing and I will keep inviting you to the tourneys. Okay, I said.

Sparrow's Spring nest

Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow were caught, by me yesterday, shopping together for a new home. They flitted and flirted, just outside my window. Talking and discussing and lovingly disagreeing, if not arguing the benefits and the pitfalls of living at our house.
Mrs. Sparrow was very impressed with the 2 "ready made" nests hung outside our window. Mr. Sparrow hadn't even thought of them as "ready-made" nests. He used them for the provision of building materials for the private home that he had in mind in a surprise and hidden place. He doesn't like the openness, at all, of our porch. It's much too populated. When Mr. Sparrow gets it into his mind to give his sweet chicky a peck, he wants the freedom to do it without a bunch of younguns peeking over the nest to see what comes next.
Mrs. Sparrow was impressed that the porch was fully protected from hailstones. We all know what happened to a great many of last years' nests in that surprise hailstorm we had. Male birds seem to have a very short memory for storms. They have only one thing in mind in the nest building season... 03/09
