Here is the real reason I was looking up kakapos on Flickr this evening...

My latest read is Maybe Baby by Lani Diane Rich. Besides enjoying the story, I'm enjoying the cause. One of the major players in this contemporary romance is an endangered "green chicken". Kakapo (Māori: kākāpō, meaning "night parrot") are native to New Zealand that I can't claim to know all that much about. But, kakapo are some of the most endangered birds in the world and I'm a parrot and macaw activist of sorts. The least I can do is post some links so these websites can get a few extra google "points" and thus more visitors that can donate time and or money to the cause.

    Haven't read the book yet--but I do enjoy her books.

    What a cool looking bird. It's a shame they're endangered.

    The most amazing and unique animals are on the endangered lists.
    Even the Tomato frog of Madagascar is endagered.
    There are SO many cool creatures that need our help..since we're the ones who endangered them in the first place.

    BTW Happy July 4th!!!

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing.
