A visitor from Canada

Sam Gorrie came to visit for 10 days. I had a LOT of fun with her. We have a lot in common - and we are both CRAZY... as you will see...






Sam did this to me!!!

Some Zoo shots:



We caught the lions - er - gettin it ON. I kid you NOT. This big leo walked back into the back room and we heard the whole thing!!! pretty damn funny.

my take on sam

me and my boss, the inimitable Robert Bauer


Cool shot... captures sams personality so perfectly




At the Detroit zoo, there is a room where you walk through a tunnel of water. Sea lions and polar bears (if youre lucky) swim overhead. Its the highlight of the entire zoo. We stayed for an hour just watching th sea lion frolic (yes, i siad frolic)
