This happened the other night and I didn't get a chance to post it here until now.

Being that I go to the Zoo rather frequently seeing new critters happens every so often later that evening was something I had never seen before at the Zoo. During the pre-show for Talamasca, Rachael (the Quetzal bird) throws out beads and randomly picks people out of the audience to pull up on the stage to do silly acts. The first act is usually get a kid to dance or something, second is get a grown man to juggle handkerchiefs, usually the third is another kid stunt involving the kid tumbling. Last night however Rachael brought two adults, a man and a woman, onto the stage. They ended up doing a ring toss where the girl threw a ring (looked like duct tape) onto a pole the guy was holding while kneeling. The started off close, then with each successful catch they moved further apart. About six feet apart she successfully trows the ring, as the girl prepares to trow again the guy scoots across the floor and opens up a box in his hand! She said yes!

In all the years that I have been going to the Zoo, or any park, I have never seen a proposal like this. (especially outside of a Disney park) So I assume that a Giraffe birth is a good sign for the future of a marriage.

BTW, they both got beads and a plush spider (Talamasca).

Now for now

I just want to say thank you to everyone yesterday at the SDRF for such a great time. Funny how many people noticed me, I guess I did stand out. And Sarah thank you, it was a pleasure to see you dance. See you all soon. (I'll be looking for the Tower)
