Every morning at this hour they wake me up with their chirping and cheeping. It's spring, and the mating season, and the circle of life must go on. Heh.
It turns out I have more in common with my favorite animal than I thought. NOTE: Usually I find an article and then regurgitate it into the cheeping mouths of our readers in my own words.
We arrived in New York last night and we joined a friend for dinner in Williamsburg at a joint called Tacu Tacu, a Peruvian/Thai place (they had an excellent ceviche platter).
Well I won't be doing much blogging in the coming weeks. Last Wednesday I found out that I will be giving a talk this Thursday at the University of Toronto. This news came to me while I was smack-dab in the middle of one of these huge experiments.

Have you seen the British TV shows, "Daylight Robbery" and Daylight Robbery, Part Two"? They are about squirrels and bird feeders, etc. etc. In the first one they show a squirrel-proof bird feeder (which I saw some of in Kew Gardens). In the second part they show how squirrels beat the squirrel proof bird feeder.
