OMG WTF polar bear!

38 more hours until I see the endocrinologist. I hope she has some immediate solutions.

But hey, I can wear size 10 jeans now. That's a first since high school.

[personal profile] hotpantsgalore & I went to the Bronx Zoo last weekend. We got there before noon, which seems to be the way to go. The later it got, the larger the crowds became. Still, we had a great time & I'd definitely like to go back (& get there even earlier).

Our favorite animal? Definitely the polar bear. We watched him for at least an hour.

oh, ang. nothing like seeing pics from the bronx zoo to make me more homesick than i have been in awhile. i feel like i grew up walking the paths of the zoo, finding all the fun things, and then i had a summer job in college where the day camp i was working for would go on trips all the time, and i was the counselor EVERYONE wanted to be with on trips to the zoo, because i knew my way away from the crowds, and loads of funny information about the animals...

thanks for the inadvertent trip down memory lane!

The only zoo in the world to evoke these words...

Someone told me
Its all happening at the zoo.

I do believe it,
I do believe its true.

Its a light and tumble journey
From the east side to the park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble
To the zoo.

But you can take the crosstown bus
If its raining or its cold,
And the animals will love it
If you do.

Somethin tells me
Its all happening at the zoo.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.

Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.
What a gas! you gotta come and see
At the zoo.

You really can't go wrong with Simon and Garfunkel lyrics. No sir.
