The Khoreys all had half days at school today, so we piled in the car with the family's zoo pass and went to the zoo. On our way there we passed Rob biking towards the staff gate, on his way to a voluntary seminar about the zoo's plant life. We would meet up with him later in the cafeteria where, after explaining to Noah, the eldest Khorey, about his wonky handshake, he explained how he was going to burn off his badly bent right pinky with a torch and replace it with a solid gold robotic finger. The gorillas were in rare form, taking to the indoor exhibit enclosure because the sky threatened rain (and the gorillas here hate the rain). We got to see them up close and the kids got a rise when Rob showed them how Harry, the lesser silverback, displays whenever he's around, pounding the glass to show Rob that, though he's not the leader among the gorillas, he's superior to him. Nina and I are going to go to the zoo again so we can see the Sicilian donkeys since she was disappointed that we didn't get to see them when we went.
