I hate to obsess about weather, but June temperatures in New York have taken us all on a roller coaster ride with sweltering highs and frigid lows within days of each other.

As you might surmise, I spend an inordinate amount of time every day thinking about both birding and blogging. As the owner of what has been called ( by me ) western New York’s leading test prep organization , I have to meticulously analyze every aspect of these crucial college entrance exams.
