Wildlife

Last night, Jawbitch came in to the city and went to a black tie benefit dinner with me for the Wildlife Conservation Fund at the Central Park Zoo. I had no idea Central Park even had a zoo. The penguin exhibit was really good. I enjoyed watching those guys zip through the water. I think they were attracted by my tux, as they came right up to the windows.

At the dinner, one of the speakers stated that they really reduced the cost to conserve wildlife, now down to five dollars per acre. That must be the going rate just to keep humans out. Meanwhile, the really exotic animals the zookeepers paraded around rested comfortably in their keeper's arms, were no longer wild.
