I thank Ian for the above photo which caused him to think of me.
Contemplating, as I am sure you often do, the list of things I love, you know that the last item is that some of you understand.

The March issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC has an article about bird migrations. I am most impressed by that of godwits, moderate size birds that forage in tidal waters. In the northern fall they fatten up in their Alaskan breeding grounds and then fly non-stop to New Zealand in eight or nine days, with daily runs of about 700 nautical miles. Six months later in the southern fall, they return to Alaska with a stop-over on the shores of the Yellow Sea.
I am humbled.
