Bird Talk Thank you everyone for your really fun words of wisdom on capturing mischievous cockatiels, and other details about the birds you love. When I wondered why I let these two out of their cage, it occurred to me, "Of course you let them out!" They stayed on top of my bookshelf until Paul, their guy (whose design studio is in my building), came back, put on gloves and basically got hold of them and plunked them into their cage. We did fly them around the room a bit to tucker them out; a good laugh. I knew I was going to get a lot of fun emails, and they really were, including some advice from Garfield that you have to be quiet when sneaking up on a bird. The new cover is co-dedicated to him. Nice to hear from you, truly! I am sorry I could not answer every response personally. I've spend the past 72 hours writing nearly nonstop -- three horoscopes yesterday (a record), a massive edition of Astrology Secrets Revealed for tomorrow that looks at the astrology of recent French history, good vs. evil and a bunch besides -- it is time for bed and Simone de Beauvoir -- hey, not such a bad date. We are having a long, satisfying and meaningful affair. Catch you tomorrow.     e
