I had a great Monday. It was the one sunny and semi-temperate day we've had since last Wednesday, and I took the whole day off and went to the Lincoln Park Zoo with a friend. It's been years since I've been to a zoo. I stood about one foot away from a gigantic male lion with a large wooly mame staring me in the face . . . we were seperated by a thick pane of glass, but still . . .
We saw giant gorillas and chimps eating and throwing poo. I saw monkeys, giraffes, tigers, bears, seals, lizards of all shapes and sizes. It was pretty cool. I don't know why I don't go to the zoo more often. You get to see some of the most tremendous creations God has ever made, and if you go to the Lincoln Park Zoo, it's totally free. For me, not to over-spiritualize it, but I think I got alittle closer to God that day.
