But Richard, I thought you knew everything! I can see you running a bird camp for the grandkids. Maybe you'll get an ornithologist out of the group.

Get well and stay well.

Aww, who knew you had a poetic soul? The grandkids are going to love it. I agree. It should be illustrated. Great way to teach kids to identify birds.

Hope you bounce back soon from the Lyme disease.

Hell, Virginia, I'm not sure I could identify half those birds! But I'll work on the grandkids.

Sorry you're down with Lyme! Love the bird story/poem. Sent to my 27-year-old bird-loving "child." You should illustrate and publish. I'd buy multiple copies for future grandchildren.

Thank you. There's Doxycline, fortunately. I'll be fine in five days.
