I Spoke Too Soon

I am nothing if not a considerate spouse. Alison had been home nearly 13 hours before I even suggested heading to a sewage pond.

Alison is nothing if not an indulgent spouse.

We arrived at the Benson sewage ponds at 1:00, to find Denis and Kt willing the bird not to fly. And it worked: an adult Tundra Swan in all its ice-white glory, floating sleepily on the southern pond. State bird, yearbird, and this time truly, really, actually the last of 2006 for me.
