The Dinosaurs Are Back!

After millions of years - a long absence - the dinosaurs have made a comeback at the Oregon Zoo in Portland.
These dinosaurs are mechanical, are coated with foam rubber and they move and roar.
One dinosaur shoots out water. You can hear them roar, but no one really knows what a dinosaur sounds like since they've been gone for so long.
Here's the link to more information about the Oregon Zoo exhibit.
Both kids and adults like to see the dinosaurs. There's information about them on signs by the exhibit. Don't worry: The signs tell you whether the dinosaur you're looking at is a meat eater!

My Tribute To Leah Remini.

Today I would like to share someone with you. In September 1989, I was watching the television program "Who's the Boss?" when I found somebody to write to. You see, I have been writing to celebrities since 1983, and have been collecting autographs of different people since then. That evening Leah Remini appeared, and afterward was on a new TV series called "Living Dolls." I wrote her the first of many cards and letters, and received nice responses nearly every time. Later, Leah started appearing on other shows, like "Saved By the Bell". But one of my favorites was "The King of Queens," playing Carrie Heffernan. I have enjoyed being one of her fans, and hope that I can meet her someday. So, Leah, I will always keep you in my thoughts and will keep remembering you on your birthday. Have a wonderful life, and always make people like me happy.

Christmas at the zoo.

Having a great time at zoolights. We are open from now until December 30th. The outdoor sights are fine this time of year. We start after thanksgiving and run until after Christmas. Come visit us some night!

A Special Treat For You All!

Here is a performance by one of my favorite bands, Rachel Rachel. Even though they are not together anymore, here is one of their songs. Recorded in 1991, here is Carry on wayward son, a remake of a song recorded originally by the group, Kansas. Enjoy!

Sarah And I, Together On My Blog.

Recently my sister Jeanne found an old photo taken when I was a little baby. Maybe between 1959 or 1960, before I was a year old. I still was learning to walk but still being held onto by one of my sisters. This was before my brother Ned was born. I decided to add another autographed photo to my blog. Her name is Sarah Jessica Parker, and another one of my favorite people. I first saw her on the series, "Square Pegs" on CBS back a long time ago. Years later she was on "Sex and the City" on HBO. Now she is appearing on Garnier commercials. Maybe in the near future I will put up some new photos up. So stay tuned!

Waiting For Thanksgiving.

After a short hiatus, I decided to write something new on my blog. What am I thankful for? Well, my year has been fun. My job has shown me as I work with my fellow workers at the zoo that life is worth something. I made some new friends, and get along with everyone. I will be spending thanksgiving with people I really care about{ my brothers and sisters} so we should be having a lot together. Of course, years ago, all of us would get together at our parents home in Cherry Grove, Oregon for a big get together. When they moved to Gaston, we still got together for Thanksgiving and Christmas and enjoyed the time we had. This year, maybe we can reminise all our special times, and our future times. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
