There's a few things that make me nostalgic, as short as my life has been.
Joe was my mother's ten year old African Grey parrot. I loved this bird to bits. He'd been a part of the family since he was an egg. We owned an aviary in Washington (Silverlake Aviary) at the time and would constantly meet other bird owners. We owned a male Double Yellow Head and so we traded him for what would later hatch out and be Joe. He was smarter than most humans I know. Sadly, he was killed Easter weekend of this year when a dog my father had adopted attacked, killed and burried him in the back yard before we even knew what had happened.
I lived in California's northern Bay Area for five years. One of my favorite places was Crockett, a small little town with a wonderful history. We lived there for one year, under what is now the old bridge. I've been told that the house was demolished to make way for the new bridge. If you're ever in the area, stop by the Valona Deli on Sunday afternoons/evenings for the best live jazz you'll ever hear.
