I worked at home for more than two years. My office was upstairs, in front of a large window that was usually open. My constant companion was a mourning dove with its soothing song. Sometimes this gentle sound was replaced by the piercing shriek of a family of beautiful parrots that likes to visit our neighborhood.
Now I work in an office building. It's a nice building on a pretty campus, with scores of friendly people, excellent technology, and very good food. There are 3 friendly dogs in my office neighborhood, but no mourning doves and no parrots. The dogs are quiet almost all the time.
I always thought they were called morning doves. Huh.
