back and birding
Hey all. I’m finally back and recharged. Today’s Banding Day here at Kodak. We’re going to be banding the Peregrine Falcons that nest on the tower. You can watch the play by plan starting around 9.30am at birdcam.kodak.com.
I’ll be back later with pictures (if they don’t eat my head!).
Vacation Day 1
Finally arranged to takes a weeks vacation. Though it hasn’t been too relaxing yet, I’m getting a lot of stuff done around the house.
hola
I’m back, more or less. Things have been really crazy at work which hasn’t helped. As far as the reason I had for falling off the earth, things are going as well as they can there. So posting will start again on a regular basis soon.
update
for once I have a good reason for falling off the face of the earth. Really. Unfortunately since it deals with someone close to me, I’m not going to post it. Hopefully after today things will get better and I’ll be back on a normal schedule.

This business with Syria is disconcerting. Any idea what the going odds are as to if they’ll be “upgraded” into the Axis of Evil (to replace Iraq of course). What’s scary is the question of whether or not the administration could ride the wave of Pro Iraqi War support and convert it into a drive to attack Syria. Or perhaps this is just a case of the news networks trying to play up hostilities in hopes of not losing the audiences that have been glued to them. These days it’s impossible to tell how the message is being manipulated or who’s even doing it.
And it the mean time everything is fine and dandy in, Afghanistan, good thing the press is giving that so much attention.
hello michelle, it’s grandma
In other news, I have been receiving phone messages at work from a woman that only identifies herself as “Grandma.” Apparently she’s trying to reach someone named “Michelle.” Strangely, the fact that my voicemail message clearly states “You’ve reached Matt Bernius’ voicemail” doesn’t seem to phase her. I’ve been getting at least one message a day from this mysterious voice. Today she called to see if “Mom and Dad got home OK.” Perhaps, one day, I’ll get the chance to talk directly to her. But until then I always look forward to my daily communiqué.
