Last year on Presidents Day, Mom and I visited Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh to view the Chihuly glass show. This year, I wanted to continue the tradition, so Mom and I met Sister No. 4, Nephew No. 2, and Nephew No. 3 at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. I had never been there before, but I had a couple of perfectly themed books in mind to leave behind. I left P.D. James' "Shroud for a Nightingale" on a bench across from Oscar, the ocellated turkey, on our way to the feeding show in the Wetlands of the Americas; Richard & Florence Atwater's "Mr. Popper's Penguins" was left in the care of the metal penguin sculpture in the Atrium of the Aviary.
