The Year of the Rooster

With today being Chinese New Year and the beginning of the Year of the Rooster, I'd like to tell you a bit about one of our roosters.  His name used to be Roosevelt II, but we, just in the last week, changed his name to... Jerky.

Every time I go out to my van, he is waiting for me. Not Mark, not Genna. Me.  He lurks on the other side of the shed, waiting to hear the sound of my voice or the doors on the van being opened and closed.  Sometimes I have to quickly jump in the van with a kid under my arm and shut the door...and he is always waiting for me.


He won't be long in this world.
