such a zoo

today has been a good day. i happened upon a pretty big issue at work, and ended up being pretty central to seeing it fixed. turns out the problem was actually much bigger than we originally thought. i had been feeling a little bored and useless here at work, so this was really cool. just another example of how good things have fallen into my lap, and i really did nothing to cause it. the really interesting part is that these sort of things only happen when i am broken and have surrendered to God that day. that result is certainly not the motivation to follow God, but i do find it interesting.

psalm 42:8
by day the LORD directs His love,
at night His song is with me -
a prayer to the God of my life.
i am going out to california for thanksgiving, and i am totally excited. it looks like i will be going down to san diego with my sister and her husband for a couple of days. we will get to see the san diego zoo and the wild animal park. i have heard great things about the wild animal park, but was duly unimpressed with the san diego zoo last time i was there. apparently now they have a whole bunch of new monkey stuff, so i am pretty excited to see that. my favorite things at zoos are the monkeys and the reptiles. the san diego zoo is particularly lacking in both, but perhaps they have remedied their lack of primate representation properly. the first thing i will do when i walk into that place is throw up my hands and yell, "this place is such a ZOO!"

David and I once ticked off 40 or so of Missouri's top science students and brought embarrassment to our high school science teacher because of our fascination with the monkey house. I'll let David tell the story.
