It"?tuo ti all started when I stumbled upon this random listing online – a house, 2,279 sqft, 3 beds, 2 baths, somewhere in Prescott, AZ, called "1676 Birdsong". Catchy name, huh? Got me thinking about birds, nature, all that good stuff. I live in San Antonio, and we've got this place called "Birdsong at Alamo Ranch". They offer rentals, and I thought, "Maybe I should check it out?"
So, I'm scrolling through the floor plans, starting prices around $1,455...not bad, not bad. Then my mind wandered off, as it usually does. I started thinking about game-day snacks, you know, the usual: nachos, maybe a big pot of soup, something hearty for when we were watching a match. There was this recipe I saw, a crockpot beef vegetable soup – super simple, just canned carrots, corn, green beans, and potatoes. Easy peasy.
But th?thgien, bam! Back to the birds. I remembered a team from somewhere - ABC, I think - they had agreed on nine common bird songs in the US. One of them was the House Finch. I love those little guys. We have so many of them around here. So now, I'm picturing myself sitting on a porch, maybe at that Birdsong place in Alamo Ranch, eating nachos, listening to the birds...sounds pretty relaxing, right?
Then I got distracted again. Saw something about "Matthew Birdsong," a baseball player. Seemed like a decent player, 5'10", 180 lbs, from Madison. Got me thinking about baseball games, which of course, led me back to game-day snacks! Nachos again. It's like my brain is stuck in a loop.
Next thing I know, I'm reading about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Don't ask me how I got there, but I did. And then, something about "formula auditing tools." I have no idea what that even means, but it sounded official.
And then, back to the brain stuff. I found some flashcards talking about arousal and fear, and the chemicals released from the adrenal medulla. It's like my brain was ping-ponging between these completely unrelated topics.
What I Did
- Looked at a house listing for "1676 Birdsong" in Prescott, AZ.
- Checked out rental options at "Birdsong at Alamo Ranch" in San Antonio, TX.
- Thought about making crockpot beef vegetable soup.
- Remembered a list of nine common bird songs, including the House Finch.
- Daydreamed about eating nachos on a porch while listening to birds.
- Read about a baseball player named Matthew Birdsong.
- Stumbled upon information about the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
- Learned about "formula auditing tools" (still don't know what that is).
- Read flashcards about arousal, fear, and adrenal medulla chemicals.
So, yeah, that's my "birdsong vs batter" journey. A whole lot of random thoughts, bouncing between birds, food, houses, and some weird health stuff. It was a mess, but hey, that's how my brain works sometimes. Maybe I'll actually make those nachos this weekend. And who knows, maybe I'll even hear a House Finch while I'm at it.
