Capital J

I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Memorial Day.  Hope everyone got to spend it with friends and family and – ideally – a large backyard BBQ.   We spent our weekend at the beach and the zoo. The only drama came when I threw one of my shoes into the rhinoceros pit — and then mom wouldn’t let dad go and get it.   Boring.  That would have spiced up the weekend a bit.

First, for the zoo.   They had a great tractor parked out front.   The way they were yelling at me, I think they thought I might actually drive off with it — I guess they didn’t realize I can’t reach the pedals.   My brothers liked feeding the fish and the duck in the big lagoon, and generally trying to pose for dad and the camera.

Then there was this cool exhibit that had an underground tunnel.  Something about how you could see how moles really live underground.  Whatever.  I just liked making my dad chase me through the tunnels.   You can tell they weren’t built to fit “extra medium” individuals.  He struggled a bit to keep up, but finally made it out…

Then we went to the beach with my good friend, Jane.

I invited her to take a long walk on the beach, but she declined – so I went by myself.   (You can also see that we had the place pretty much to ourselves… nice!)

And did I mention that my brother Tristan just won’t take off his hat?

Anyway, a happy Memorial Day to everyone!   Keep in touch!
