Nice way to start the day
I had the most incongruous thing happen to me this morning. I was standing in my living room, trying to put my tie on without looking in the mirror, when I looked out the window at the church across the alley.
A mallard duck was looking right back at me through the window. One of the things you might not know about me is that I love ducks. I think they, along with penguins, are two of the funniest animals on the planet. In my unofficial ranking of funny animals, penguins and ducks are the top two, while cows round out the top three.
I have no idea why the duck was there. There's no ponds in the immediate vicinity. Though Lake Michigan is 3/4 of a mile away, I don't think a duck would have waddled all the way there just to sit in an alley.
Either way, I watched the duck for awhile, and he watched me. After about fifteen seconds of this meeting of the minds, he turned away, and I went about my business.

Speaking of penguins... have you heard the news about those funny birds at Brookfield zoo? They had a penguino soap opera.
They're my favorite :-)
