In “things I’m glad I did while drunk” news, I’m going to see David Bowie tonight. I only vaguely remember agreeing to buy the tickets, but apparently I had the presence of mind to buy at the 100-level.

In “what the hell?” news, there’s a Canada goose stranded outside of my office building. It’s clearly injured, but won’t accept food unless lobbed directly in front of it. The local bird sanctuary won’t attend to it due to “budget cutbacks”.

[News Flash!] At 3:30pm a professional goose-wrangling team was assembled, led by our kind (but loony) IT person who braved the frigid water. The animal was cornered, placed into a gigantic box, and is now on the way to the bird sanctuary.

More humourous than the capture itself was the view in the other direction. Turning back to the building, windows on every floor were full with contingents of mesmerized on-lookers. I wish I had a camera with me today.
