kniblet called last night with news that made me very happy. When we go to Chicago in March she's got a behind the scenes tour of Lincoln Park Zoo scheduled! Yay! Her friend Dominic is a vet there.
kniblet must really love me since she doesn't care for zoos. :) In fact, she said that Dominic asked her if she was going to just drop me off. LOL.
But, as payback for making her go to a zoo, she's going to make me eat brussel sprouts. I've never in my life ever eaten a brussel sprout so I don't know if that's a bad thing or not.
dibsy was apparently quite amused that I'd never tried them. Heck, I didn't think I'd ever even seen one live and in person until
hellbob reminded me that
chebutykin cooked them once when she was living here.

The only places we went were the Field Museum and Shedd's Aquarium. Then I was also in the outskirts a couple times. This will be my first time actually visiting the city. And I always want to go to the zoo when I'm in a new city!
