A couple of quick items... My day started with a brisk stroll through the waist-deep murky waters of a pond/swamp so that I could return some goose eggs to their island nest. I don't want to point any accusing paws at anyone so I'll leave it at that.

Next up -- I have chosen Flickr as the site for the photo project. To join you need to sign up with Yahoo. The Flickr site walks you through it. Please remember to pass up all the swell chances they give you to get surveyed and sold when you set up your preferences. I was hoping to find a smaller, less corporate service but nothing seemed right. So we'll start on Flickr and take it from there. My ID on Flickr is "barry crimmins." This afternoon I'm going out to take some photos of the area near our home. I hope you're getting out and getting some good shots as well.

I'd love to see the photos my friend Greg S mentioned as well as some shots of Northern NYS by our Canadian comrades and, come to think of it, everything everyone has suggested this fare. So have at it!

That's it for now. If you see Joe Scarborough please beat him to death with Lou Dobbs' decapitated head. Just kidding, Sort of.
