It’s sidewalk chalk season, and my daughter demanded that I draw her a duck. I complied, scribbling the feathered flapper below. “That’s not a duck!” she complained. Aside from the mysterious goiter, I think it’s reasonably duck-like. But then, there’s no pleasing a three-year-old.
As media consumption goes, what’s nerdier than watching a documentary on ducks? How about listening to a live-stream of the National Book Awards while watching a documentary on ducks? Guilty and guilty, your honor.
Seriously, though, An Original DUCKumentary, which aired on PBS earlier this month, is well worth a viewing. It even inspired me to photograph a few quackers in my neighborhood.
