Pent Up
(Pic courtesy of congiano) For those not within shouting distance of NYC, the passion still left over from the Prez elections is in full display at 927 Fifth Avenue. Scoot over to Jo Miller and Pale Male for a blow by blow account of NYC class warfare, with red-tailed hawks caught between factions and their nest. For our family, this has been especially interesting as quite a few summers ago, the ever-loving wife read passages from 
Marie Winn's "Red-Tails in Love while we were doing some summer travelling. Even for folks not into birding, the book is a treat to read if you love NYC, Central Park, off-the-beaten-path characters, and flight. Pale Male, one of the red-tailed hawks that came up again and again in the book, is now in trouble. New Yorkers have come out in droves to protest the boorish behaviour of some of a specific building's tenents . Throw in the names Paula Zahn (a villain), Enron (a villain), and Mary Tyler Moore (a heroine) and you've got something to take your mind off of Christmas shopping.
