THE FAREWELL NOTE. The site's up and the Stough & Stough Unique
Birdhouse Company is ready to ship. Just go see the pictures once before
we part, willya? The kid and I will be grateful, and at age 37 the kid
is easier to impress than when he was 15.

We have discovered that some networked computers have trouble connecting
to lookabirdy.com, perhaps because some office geeks' robots think it's
a porn site. Endeavor to persevere! You can still check it out from
home!
ELEVATOR ETIQUETTE. When I joined the San Antonio (Texas) Express-News
in 2001, I met my first newspaper risk manager. We both seemed amused to
meet the other, but he had the advantage because he had my police record
and I had peed in Hearst's little bottle and I had nothing on him.
So I told him that at the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News, where I worked 28
years, I rode the elevator four times with murderers, and three of them
were company employees. True story. Wiped the smile right off his face.
The rest of the story: I also rode it one time with four very old
ladies, one of them a columnist. We're talking white gloves, lace on the
hats, the whole Fifth Avenue. It was lunchtime. I was furthest from the
door when it reached the ground floor, and the four marvelously genteel
ladies did the "After you, Gertrude!" thing for so long that the doors
closed and took us all back upstairs.
I was almost that elevator's fifth murderer.
Anyway, www.lookabirdy.com.
Love to all, Charley
