Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

--squirrelmama (10/3/07)

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Update:

I just got home from the Gridiron trio's first official performance. To my astonishment (and probably yours, if you watched the tv clip,) somebody called yesterday and booked us for a party tonight. They wanted us at 9 p.m., so the guests could get a little tipsy before we got there. Good planning. Anyway, we showed up, sang four songs, did a little unplanned back-and-forth with the people there, and worked the crowd on the way out. For that, a dear woman paid $150 (more than the minimum fee) to see the look on the face of the guy who owned the house when a stranger walked through the door and said in his best television voice , "Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States."

When I agreed to take part in this whimsical effort at raising money for the show and scholarship fund, I figured it would be a lark, but I honestly could not conceive that anybody actually would pay money for us to come to an event. For next week, we already are booked for a newspaper and webcast interview-performance, as well as for a corporate employee lunch -- and the heavy season for holiday parties hasn't even gotten here yet.

Amazing. But this is something that happened that gave me great secret pride. On the way out of the party site, an enormous house hidden beyond a narrow gravel road that turned into a half-mile of smooth, paved driveway behind thick trees, two crazy little dogs were running around. They clearly were the pets of the people who own the house, but I was worried that they might run into the road when we drove away. I turned to the more dominant pup and said sternly, "You stay!" One of the other people in our little group said, "Good luck with that. You know he's going to follow us to the car." Only when we reached our vehicle did I look back. Both dogs were glued to the pavement in the exact place where they were when I said the magic words.

My task was to show up for improv mayhem in my Nancy Pelosi alleged persona along with fellow cast members from the Gridiron Show, "Barack Obama" and "Bill Clinton." I think we took care of the mayhem, but I learned much for future reference by watching a clip posted by the first station, including recognition that (a) I have no shame, and (b) if I had any consideration whatsoever for mankind*, I would never again sing in public.

On the other hand, my pearls were fabu.

(Scroll down the page to see the clip. It's currently at the top of the lineup, but if it gets pushed back, it's identified in tiny type below the thumbnail as "Gridiron Trio.")






*I have no consideration whatsoever for mankind. Additional appearances already have been booked.
This is the funnest!

This is the best!

This is awesome!

I am in awe of you and your fellow actors/singers.

Oooh, that was awesome!

I wish you much busy-ness through the 21st. Heck, I hope someone pony-ups some even bigger bucks to convince you to perform after the 21st. What a great cause.
