The party for Heather and Jon started about 4 or so, I arrived shortly after 5 - just as the food was being prepared. I met Greg's new girlfriend - a good of a reason as any to become Mormon, I suppose. Everyone was already getting started on the drink as well -- most had rather red faces when I arrived.

The food was fantastic, their parties are always amazing for that.

Shortly after I arrived, there was word of a bird... in the basement.
I crept down with Jon, sure enough -- hiding in the corner, fluttering here and there was a very long beaked bird. No idea how he got in there, but he flew to one side of the room, and I stepped closer towards him. I was about halfway there when he flew back towards me. I ducked and he did too... he landed on my back. He tried crawling up my shoulder but I wasn't letting a wild bird near my head... just in case. I started walking up the stairs - he hung on, flapping but holding on my shirt with his feet. I got into the mudroom, closed the door behind me. He kept trying to fly to the door on the left, but the door on the right was open. He was flapping, trying to stay up so I put my hand under him and he perched on my finger. He wouldn't turn around so I turned rather quickly and showed him the door. He flew and took a perch up in the tree.

He didn't get mad at me, didn't peck and didn't squawk.
"Bird Man of Alcatraz" came to mind, and was mentioned by a few, "Dr Doolittle", a few others =] It's all good, I love the little animals.

Besides that the night was a wondrous cacophony of drinking, scooting, and we topped it off with the hot tub at the end of the evening.
