28: can you think of anything more boring than birdwatching?
Yes, I can. Watching paint dry. Watching the same lame commercial over and over. Setting pins in one of those 1950's bowling alleys. Raking the leaves from the same lawn more than once a season. Waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Actually bird watching is pretty interesting, and most birds lead a pretty complex and interesting life. I've been watching birds in various seasons and in various locations for quite a while and I actually recommend it as an enjoyable pastime. Just a few days ago there was a hawk sitting on my back fence eying the squirrels and small birds. I ran to get my camera, but just before I took the photo from inside the house, it flew off. I got nothing but a blur. It's the first hawk I've seen this close to home, but I think they've discovered the plethora of protein they can find in squirrels, rabbits and smaller birds in St Paul's urban environment.
See. Just a blur.
Oh yeah. The afternoon tennis session went pretty well: 6-3, 5-7. And I'm knackered again. GOINFS.

I though your title phrase applied to the pumpkins. They age pretty fast, though they've held on longer than I would have predicted.
Your bird watching question brought to mind Ollie's Pond. I've watched a lot of birds there, and not found it boring at all.
A hawk in your back yard? Cool.
If anyone had asked that question, I had a whole list of more boring things ready to go. Birds are cool.
