Well, my bird has not returned. I practiced for an hour this morning, and tried to find higher passages from "The King and I"--but no little bird. If he doesn't appear by this afternoon, I'll drive up to church to get the anthem that he seemed to be obsessed with that Saturday he stayed with me for eight hours.

maahey--the report from David Dunn was wonderful!!!!!! Oh, Lord, I wish I could have seen those ravens over the Grand Canyon! What an extraordinary miracle he witnessed there among trumpets!
