Once upon a time, this blog was going to be all about my pet bird, when I got one. But I never did get that bird. So, now this blog is about the beautiful, curious things that keep me in a near-constant state of happy distraction. Ironically, many people find these writings when they wonder what "peristerophobia" means. It's a fear of pigeons. I've made a bird blog after all.
Remember what Jerry Orbach and Rita Gardner sang in The Fantasticks? Try to remember to follow (follow follow follow follow follow follow follow follow follow).... Nathaniel's up first. I don't know when my intro will appear--all the more reason for you to check in daily!

Annie Dillard could have been writing about me when she said (of herself), "I like the slants of light; I'm a collector." Or Willem de Kooning: "I'm like a slipping glimpser." And don't forget Brenda Ueland: "I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten--happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." But the Beastie Boys might have said it best: "When it comes to panache, I can't be beat." There's a reason I wear a ring that says Badass.

Since I only voted for three people and all three of those people have made the cut, I'm totally taking credit for this. No, no--it's all you. I can't wait until you let your snark out!
