The Bird Man

Today's person of interest shall henceforth be known as Falcon. Falcon is a gentleman in his 30's, used to attend my College as a music major. I don't remember why Falcon stopped, but he did about a decade ago. Talented in Music, pretty good at cooking. I would put him in the top Third of my classmates from food preparation. He seems to lack some of the drive other people have, but he does try hard. Sadly for Falcon, life has a tendency to knock him around a bit, but he recovers well from it. Falcon is also in Baking with me this semester, and we group up frequently, since we both agree that baking is not the thing for us. We can bake ok, but being at a stove or grill suits us a lot better. Falcon brings his own range of optimism and humor to the group of people I hang around and he's very easy going at times when its appropriate. Most people wouldn't tag him as such, but Falcon observes how people act and work. I have seen Falcon watch how one person cuts a potato, and then mimic it to see if it works for him. Granted, its not a true mimicry of the knife handling, but the fact that he does it because he notices other people having an easier time using a different technique shows that he does have a generally high intelligence compared to the majority of our peers.
