I didn't think setting this blog up would be so complicated. Unfortunately, I already had a Google account (so the system says) tied to my home email (probably from my days in library school a few years ago) and can't remember the password I used. After switching to my work email address, I was able to set this up. Figuring out a screen name that I wanted to use took a fair amount of time, too.
"Loro," my screen name, is Spanish for parrot. I'm an avid birdwatcher (on rare days I've even seen a eagle soar by my window at work--I have my personal radar set to the skys most days) and have three pet birds as part of my household. Two are parakeets (one is ten years old--pretty old for a small bird) and one is a cockatiel. The cockatiel is everyone's favorite. He's 15, and is perpetually sweet and cheerful. He whistles along to Otis Redding's "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" and "Feliz Navidad" (his two favorite songs) and particularly loves my older son. (Our dog, a Shetland Sheepdog tolerates the cockatiel but hates the parakeets).
Getting back to the purpose for this blog, to explore "23 Things on a Stick," the Web 2.0 online activities, I'm looking forward to participating in this group, to learning some new technologies and tools, and to finding ways to use them in my job.

I saw an eagle this morning in my neighborhood--very exciting. Nice to know why you added 3 birds to your blog name.
Keep heading towards the rest of the Things--looking forward t pictures of the birds in Things 4-5.
