The most well informed, moderately liberal burdie around

Who listens to NPR?
Only this little fella. And a consistent one he is, dropping by my window most late afternoons recently, right around the time All Things Considered is streaming. Now, he's not like the others who go right to the feeder tacked up on the glass (though he's seen there as well). Rather, he perches on the sill and stares out at...whatever little birds stare at. Good worming spots in the grass? And then he turns towards the screen and peers inside for minutes and minutes at a time. Clearly he's captivated by something. Me. MEE-chelle Norris. Something.
Kiki, I think, would have another adjective to describe him. One rhyming with "burdie."

About me
- Michael K.
- Observing the things in my personal cosmos: music of a catchy sort, soccer, hockey and other sports, theories of place, media and culture, academic life, history, nature, politics, the international, the parochial. You never know what you might get. For generosity of the spirit.
