42

we all already know that 42 is the
"Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything"
as Deep Thought pointed on
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

but also 42 is the number of Earth years
that i become today...

yeah! already 42 & thankfully for being alive today
and smiling

it has been a 'regular' day
i came to work and even if parties haven't been planned
i did get to eat some birthday cake
my friend Rebecca at work just came back from New York City
and she brought me a little cupcake from the infamous
Magnolia bakery in NYC
that works as my b-day cake today...



i only wish for my life to keep on being this mellow
& good, i have a semi-OK health
but i have a job, semi-OK too, but at least i design there
a lovely mother and family
two terrific furry companions
many wild birds that visit me every morning & evening
a place to practice yoga
and i live in one of the cities with best weather
in the world!

ah also, i have some white hairs already
but no plans to die my hair... not just yet



so i am lucky! and i am 42 too
Happy Birthday to me!

how to film a mocking bird

on Tuesday i arrived home to the tune
of this lovely bird



i have a bird feeder
mostly visited by mourning doves
blue jays and some elusive singing birds

but on Tuesday, this little guy
was giving us a concert! please listen to him...



now, the movie is bad quality
so while he sung
i grabbed my photo-camera
and photographed him too

and i wasn't the only one
listening, here some of his vivacious public



now, i assume he's a mocking bird
because he sings in so many pretty styles!
but if you reading this know about birds
please let me know if you know what kind he is

also, it would be helpful is you knew...
