entertained

my desk is in front of a window which faces the neighbor's house. on the other side of the neighbor's house is a very tall pine tree. near the top of that pine tree is a huge nest where a red tail hawk roosts. next to the big pine tree is smaller pine tree where more red tail hawks reside. to sit here watching hawks swoop to and from their abodes is pretty incredible.

it was a good weekend. yesterday around 11am we decided to go to la taza coffehouse where a singer songwriter from pittsburgh was performing. we like to take advantage of opportunities to see music that don't require hiring a babysitter. we enjoyed brad yoder and his clever songs. we hung out there for a couple of hours, eating burritos and reading our books. it was disappointing that the first two menu items i ordered were unavailable, but i got over it quickly.

it's been a weekend of watching spooky movies about boys with super visual powers. on friday dan and i watched donnie darko, which i highly recommend. last night the sixth sense was on tv, so i turned on the tube and tuned in. it was pretty good too.

today i took tashi to see a stage production of pinocchio put on by enchantment theater company from philadelphia. it was a play of mimes, fantastic masks, magic and human sized puppets. very fun, well done and visually pleasing.

be it the hawks in the neighbor's tree, or a film about witnessing the walking dead, or a singer of acoustic songs, or a play about a good hearted fool, it's great to be entertained!
