Putting the lap in laptop

I’ve been enjoying posting and editing Wikipedia tonight from the recliner, thanks to my Thinkpad T61 work laptop. My personal Thinkpad is still desk-bound due to its tendency to have seizures.

Work tomorrow should be interesting as it will be my first full week. I should have a better taste for the job (though the taste of the Winter Ale I tasted at the company’s Friday “beer bash” at the company was pretty hard to beat).

Cedar Waxwing!

Cedar Waxwing

I saw my first Cedar Waxwing this afternoon. What a beautiful bird! Rocket and I were romping in the backyard when I spotted the bird sipping from a water puddle just three feet away. It seemed quite trusting and lingered on a branch above me for a bit. I went inside for the camera but couldn’t capture it on film before it flew away.

Waxwings travel in large flocks in search of berries. There must be berries somewhere because I think our trees are full of these birds right now. Maybe I can get a picture before they’re gone.

Update: I wasn’t able to get a pic, sadly enough. The one in this post is from Ken Thomas, courtesy of Wikipedia..Thanks for sharing, Ken!
