Dodo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Its closest genetic relative was the also extinct Rodrigues solitaire, the two forming the subfamily Raphinae of the family of pigeons and doves. The closest extant relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon. A white dodo was once incorrectly thought to have existed on the nearby island of Réunion.

I tell people:


"What I hear 
is 
1/3 what i hear, 
1/3 what i lip read, 
1/3 (1/2) what I fill in by context."


U = Pragmatic Competence



"Better to be looked over than overlooked."



Sometime I get it wrong.


For example,


"Jim.  
I can fall in love with you except for one thing...
your face."

Too bad I didn't hear him correctly the first time.

Face...
 made more sense?

He died... 
same complications as Albert Einstein; 

although... 
much, much younger.
