From a very early age I've been exposed to the mythical stork—perhaps there's one on my own birth announcement (but I'm too lazy to go up and dig around in the attic to verify this.) Storks in cartoons, storks in picture books, storks on cards, all bearing sweet little bundles of joy and delivering them to happy parents. Now, I see a stork's nest for the first time. True, it is stork-less and I must continue to wait for my first sighting of the real thing, but nevertheless I am thrilled.
