Glowfari
This weekend, Kellj and I visited the Oakland Zoo to experience Glowfari. Having not been to any zoo since I was just a wee lad, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I’d never seen a zoo like this before…
The flora! The fauna!
I have to say, being surrounded by little kids just losing their shit, running around scream-laughing, seriously giddy … it made my little grinch heart grow three sizes. The whole spectacle reminded me not to lose that child-like sense of wonder. There is nothing cool about being a nonplussed, jaded adult. I spent my 20s being lame. I plan to spend my forties reverting back to childhood. Hand me my Nintendo and a fruit roll-up please!
A few more pics that don’t do the experience justice…
And now for something completely different…

The only proper use of a crowbar that comes to mind now is that scene in A Christmas Story, when the dad gets the delivery of the leg lamp.
