I am completely mesmerized by all the crazy activity happening in my backyard. There are quite a few birds busy gathering materials and making nests. I am not sure if I am watching a mating dance or a fight over territory, but either way it is very impressive. I would love to put out birdseed, but it always makes such a mess and attracts rats. Although I already have a chicken coop filled with birdseed that could feed a whole rat army, so I don’t see how one more feeder could make a huge difference. I think I will dust off the humming bird feeder and give that a try again. Last year I had one, and I was hoping to attract a bunch of humming birds. Instead I got one VERY territorial one who chased everyone away. Who knew such a cute tiny thing could be so aggressive

The debut novel from “American Pie” series screenwriter David H. Steinberg. It’s the last weekend before high school graduation, and as they prepare to go their separate ways, four life-long friends spend a wild and raucous night in New York City that forces them to face their fear of growing up… and growing apart.
West Hartford, Connecticut. Growing up in the suburbs is a mind-numbingly boring experience for most teenagers, and high school seniors Dylan, Noah, Pike, and Walker are no exception. They spend their days testing how fast they can drive on the local residential streets, bribing homeless dudes to buy them beer, and attending crappy house parties. So when Dylan proposes that they spend their last weekend of high school in New York City attending an underground rave, the guys are ready to make some serious memories.
In New York, though, the guys have run-ins with a drug dealer with a penchant for fire extinguishers, a Chinese restaurant owner with a score to settle, an Albanian street gang, con men, hookers, performance artists, and a gaggle of hot, degenerate, rich girls. Over the course of one incredible night, their outrageous journey gives the guys a bonding experience they’ll never forget, as they learn that part of growing up means they’re going to have to face their futures on their own.
