Attention those of you looking for a unique gift, or an unusual ornament for your garden or house, and who prefer to go green with your purchasing choices: here is a website worth visiting – www.birdtiques.com. Local artist Alison Auth creates one of a kind birdhouses using salvaged materials. While these whimsical beauties look like “pure” art, each is carefully constructed to appeal to a specific species. Purchase online or visit the Shops at 5807 on Patterson Avenue. But beware: in person, the individual charm of each is irresistible. You could end up with a whole flock.
In keeping with the theme of tardiness with my posts, my Dance Music selection for the month of January is…
Outta Space, Billy Preston

We have a new ritual here in the office. On the first workday of the month, one of us will randomly boom (to the best of our computer’s ability) a dance song of our choice across the office. Our inaugural Dance Music Day was John’s doing, in October, and today we celebrated Dance Music Day 3. Here’s what we’ve heard so far:
- October: John; Macarena, Los Del Rio
- November: Lindsay; It Takes Two, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock
- December: Maya; I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’, Scissor Sisters
So, any suggestions for kicking off the new year?
