being on the fifth floor, in a room with a large window and the tops of trees right outside, I have the unique ability to watch every step of the bird migration without even trying. A month ago I was stunned to see a bright red headed hummingbird land in a tree right outside the window, now there are several. Lots of other new ones, too, and they all seem to sing. My friends, spring is coming.

Went to the pipe store after class yesterday, followed it up with sushi downtown. Got back to campus and Jammed, studied, smoked my pipe, made deep conversation, solved problems, ate a huge orange, hit the ol' Steel Reserve and smoked a cigar with Riley and my roommate Matt. All before three in the morning.
