I awaken early and head for the kitchen. My plans are to fix a delicious gourmet breakfast for me and my husband Hank. We will dine leisurely, enjoy the Sunday paper and watch our many feathered friends as they visit the two bird feeders we have in our yard. It’s lovely entertainment.

My husband Hank wanders into the kitchen, walks to the window for a closer look at the birds. He says, “Oh look, our first robin! Spring is on its way!” We both note that the robin seems extremely happy as it munches on a juicy worm. We are happy. Everything is right with the world. We sit down for breakfast. And then the drama begins.
