I guess that's a good sign...
It's no secret that I feel an affinity for and admiration of ravens. I have a tattoo of Raven on my back, for crying out loud.

And, I'm working on a little play entitled Heist A Crow that makes great use of the mythological attributes of corvids. The production has gotten a little chaotic as we charge towards opening night, but we've got a great show with us.

So it felt like a benediction, of sorts, when a real-life raven - not a crow, not a corley (crow-raven hybrid) - but a real-life raven landed 10 feet in front of me on the sidewalk as I walked to work yesterday. He settled himself, and started walking towards me with that hilarious raven walk. As he got near me, he looked at me, cocked his head, and - I swear on a stack of souls he did this - he nodded, and then kept walking past me.

Pretty cool, I tell you what.
