365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

This End Up
Day 108: I left my camera unattended in the office again, and Kevin's sideways pose brought up a memory from years ago when a friend was visiting. I am normally an "early to bed, early to rise" person, a strong contrast to the night-owl habits of my guest. Over the course of the evening, the conversation had drifted to quantum physics and relativity, carrying us well past the midnight hour, and I was getting a little pecky for being tired. When my friend remarked that I needed an "attitude adjustment" because I was complaining about being up past bedtime, I replied with the first thing which sprang to mind. It was a comment entirely within keeping to theme: "Yeah, I'm vertical and I need to be horizontal." The ba-da-bing took half a minute to occur.
Still trying to sort it out? "Attitude" is the operative word. Kevin has the right idea, too. Sometimes all you need is a little attitude adjustment to brighten a work day.
