(Me in front of the "Blue Frog" at the zoo. I have no idea the symbology but I just like frogs! The infamous sign leading to the den of monkeys and one of the "cute little fellows" running away from me!)
From Maricopa, AZ ---- There are many things that Tim Murphy, devoted husband of Allison and “Dad” to Lab Lucy and I agree on:
War is hell
Guinness is a mighty fine beer
Some dogs ride the “short bus”
And all monkeys suck
So, Tim would have been proud of me when I dealt head on with my phobia about monkeys and stepped into the Monkey Den at the Phoenix Zoo this afternoon. The “cute” little Spider Monkeys and I came to a truce.
I didn’t slam dunk them and they didn’t spit on me or try and bite me. However, make no mistake about this. The little b@st@rds eyed me all the time I was there. Now, I would not normally confront such a fear without having had a few pints of Guinness but today I pulled my shorts up, looked them squarely in the eye and followed closely on the heels of my friend Marina and “protector”, who has been diagnosed with cancer and therefore I will do strange things to show her my courage, and I took them on “eye-to-eye and mano on mano”.
Other than peeing on everything in sight the little buggers were actually relatively polite. And now Tim it is your turn. Come on to Phoenix and Marina will escort you through then den of cute horrors!
Love, peace and grace,
Dr. Darryl
