Last year I wanted to help the Audubon in New Orleans so Jack donated to the Society and I became the adoptive parent of one of the penguins at the Aquarium (I named him Louie after my grandfather). We went to see the penguins this weekend and one of them was swimming head-first into his plexiglass enclosure. This was obviously the penguin Jack and I are supporting. I’m not exactly sure what this means but a penguin slamming himself into a wall repeatedly can’t be a good reflection of our mental state.
In other penguin news I tried to watch March of the Penguins this weekend. I could watch 30 seconds at a time before I would cry. I believe I watched a total of 4 minutes before giving up completely. The movie is coming out of the netflix queue.
That penguin was obviously deranged, as well as completely indefatigable.
A microcosmic indicator of the mental state of a lot of folks here in the great state of LA. Especially in dealing with the Lousie Anna Recovery Authority that has received tens of thousands of applications and have awarded only 52. Very encouraging.
