Really enjoyed this. So funny about the spelling of genealogy- I also just recently learned it wasn't an -ology. There is a random pond somewhere waiting for your name.

What a wonderful piece. “Birdwatching,” a woman my age recently wrote on X. “Eventually, it comes for us all.” I actually didn't know it was a requirement and now that my husband is building birdhouse and feeders, I realize that it does eventually come to us. Thank you Tatiana for this. Really enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed this. A lot of great lines. My favorite is “birdwatching comes for us all” 😆
