Sunday

  • Slept in a bit.
  • Went to the Hogle Zoo with Shawn, Kerry and their kids. I’ve been in Utah for 3½ years, and this is the first time that I’ve been there. We were there for a smidgen over 3 hours… and I got 127 pics out of the deal; I haven’t had time to edit ’em yet. Sidenote: We saw something that we weren’t quite expecting to see – we were in the Primate House and saw a couple of primates… umm… prime-mating. Orangutans. He was doing what he apparently thought or felt was his duty; she had a look of “Oh, bother. Not this again…” Go figure.
  • Post-zoo, we all went out for lunch.
  • Jess went to work and I went to see Monster’s Ball (the movie for which Halle Berry won her Oscar®) with and Angie. I liked it; it was a good movie. It was definitely not a ‘happy, feel-good’ movie, but a good movie.
  • Went to coffee with and talked a bit about the movie and life, the universe, and everything (not to be confused with Life, the Universe, and Everything, by the late Douglas Adams).
  • Home.

And now, the call of sleep beckons me like a siren sings to a captain at sea. I am helpless to resist.

Peace.
