There's small tree outside one of the windows in my studio. The birds often perch there to observe the feeder, to make sure it hasn't become dangerous in the five minutes since they were there.

It's apparently a good place for hummingbirds as well. Today I saw my second hummingbird just chilling on a branch for ten/fifteen seconds. Which is probably *hours* in hummingbird.

Msgr. William J. Lynn, the first Roman Catholic Church official in the United States to be convicted of covering up sexual abuses by priests under his supervision, was sentenced Tuesday to three to six years in prison.

Good. I only hope he's the first of many.

I think I'll take the kids out and bask in the sun. If they get too annoying, I'll send them back in and bask by my *self*.
