Eventually I hauled Gary out of bed and we went to the zoo for the first time in a few years. All new zoo. They’ve rearranged everything so it is possible to go through the zoo and not set eyes on what they now call “Historic Hill.” You have to make a special detour to visit the (admittedly historic) flight cage.
Okay, on closer analysis of the map I may be wrong. We started on the wrong parking lot and got confused*.
(Gary is surprised to see the Elliotts too.)
* Perhaps all I need to sate my hunger for new experiences is to go through the grocery starting on the opposite side.

Backwards through the grocery store? You are living on the edge!
Check this out for an idea:

Caroline – did you check out those museums? Those are weak museums. Like, have you ever been to the Dog Museum? Then again, sometimes a museum can surprise you, like the shoe museum in Toronto.
One of my favorite museums ever is the Bata Shoe Museum in Montreal. They have quite a selection of Lady Di’s size nines. Or did when I was there a number of years ago.
I like our zoo here. They have a few animals that are usually asleep. The grounds are very nice, though.
I think a shoe museum sounds wonderful. There’s a handbag museum in Amsterdam that’s well worth visiting, if only for the handbag made from a toad. With matching shoes.

Maybe it’s a different “Sue and Howie?”
Big Dot – The link in your article just took up half an hour of my day, woman.
Hattie – Close – Toronto. That’s my favorite museum. Lady Di wasn’t cold yet when I went there.
Friend #8 – no, they were somehow affiliated with zoo muckety-mucks. One time all the Elliott employees wrnt to the zoo (with kids), got to see special backstage places like the place the gave the orangutans gynocological exams, and we fed an elephat bananas.
Did the gyno exams take place at the same time as the banana feeding?
Friend #8 – I have an awful image involving a repurposed banana right now.
