It's hot.  3rd day of 90 degree weather in a row and tomorrows looking the same.  Summer in April.  Aunt Winnie and Uncle Frank visited this weekend.  It was fun to see them.  We had parent's weekend going on so couldn't play the whole time but we joined them at Jamestown on Saturday after parent conferences.  Donny had a Lacrosse tournament and duty so he was pretty busy.  Pics- new baby geese at kid farm, new cousin Wyatt, Baltimore zoo at Easter break.

American Buffalo

I just finished an interesting read- American Buffalo- In Search of a Lost Icon.  It is a narrative by Steven Ridella, whose fascination with buffalo begins with him finding a skull while hunting in Montana and becomes even more intense when he has the opportunity to go hunting for one.  He enters a lottery to be one of 40 to hunt a herd that inhabits the Alaska's Copper River basin.  He is only one of a few to actually shoot a buffalo.  It gives an interesting natural history of the buffalo in North America and also narrates his Alaskan hunt.  It is also reminds me of how much you can learn when driven to do so by an interesting topic.  Someday maybe I'll write a book about something that I love.  I'll have enough knowledge about something just because I've spent time learning- from books, from talking to people and from experiencing.  I'm sending this to Scott for his B-day.  I think he'll enjoy it.
