preparedness
The Wife reports this is the morning beverage of choice for Italian children.
When they reach the appropriate age, ten or eleven, they're transitioned to the hard stuff- straight coffee.
As I sat in the big chair huffing from a freshly opened pound of Peet's, this approach seemed fine and right.
Our crow was back on the deck earlier, yelling at its friends.
Fuss was mesmerized.
"Le Corbeau," the Wife croaked from her nest on the floor, built to shield us from a late night coughing fit.
Last time it was hummingbirds and blue jays.
What do crows portend?

From the internet:
Scandinavians legends show two crows, perched on Odin's seat: Hugi, the Spirit, and Munnin, the Memory. They symbolize the principle of creation. In the same way, these birds are the companions of Wotan.
i don't know what they portend, but that i totally dig crows. smart and loyal birds. here is a cool npr segment (hope it's still there) on how awesome crows are: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=3937510
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret, never to be told
Eight for a wish
Nine for a kiss
Ten for a bird you must not miss
you went to too many ren faires as a youth.
