As some of you know, Tony had a stroke late last week is doing very much better but the pressures they face are immense. Due to Tony's not being able to find a teaching job this past semester, and Mark's having been laid off, they were working as substitute teachers until the school year ended. With also a pre-teen son whose welfare and schooling they must consider. Now things are getting critical; they're having to be out of their apartment by July 1 and have had the best, most up-beat attitudes imaginable.

Even if you have $5 to donate, please consider it; these are difficult times for a lot of people but these are two of the most kind-hearted and giving people I've ever met.

I do believe I just saw a golden eagle on 121st street about a mile west of 225th Street. HUGE and golden with the hooked bill...he burst out of the field to my left and flew up over the van so closely that I literally ducked. Got a great view of his belly as he headed up over the trees on the other side of the road. I'd estimate about a 32-36" wing span....what a thrill!

Now to go press wedding tablecloths....
