I am very pleased and excited to report that I have been invited back to the Cincinnati Zoo once again. I’m not sure the word “invitation” is exactly the right word. Perhaps “ordered” back to the Zoo is more accurate. Steve Malowski, the “Lead Cheese” at the Bird House, was kind enough to inform me [...]

For the most part I don’t write my Blog on paper and then transfer it to my laptop, but when I get a good idea, I will write it down in a notebook I keep in my purse for the times I am away from my laptop. I spend an inordinate amount of time on [...]

I’d heard of Facebook but didn’t quite know what to think. I joined Facebook sometime in January from an invitation sent to me from a cyber friend. This cyber-friend actually has the same last name as me and had been searching for family members. Turn out we aren’t related, but decided we’d be “cousins” anyway. [...]

One of my Favorite songs is by Peter Townsend and Ronnie Lane from an album titled “Rough Mix”. It’s called “Street in the City” and it reminds me of the frenetic activity that occurs in the Bird House behind the scenes every day trying to get all of the birds on their street and in [...]

(Having a Laugh With “Buddy” the Magellenic Penguin. He’s a pretty witty guy.) I’m now on 8 days in a row of working. My head doesn’t feel it, but my hands do. I seem to be developing a roaring case of “carpal-hosal syndrome”. My wrists and hands are aching from handling high pressure [...]
