Indy Education

We're settling into the easterner way of life and becoming more learned in its ways every day. Who would have thought this adventure would be so educational! I've collected a few priceless tidbits already that I believe everyone should know:

1. Glasses fog horribly and thin hair does nothing in humidity
2. 'Hoosiers' is not pronounced "who-c-airs"
3. Lola knows all and should never be questioned

Tim is practically becoming an expert on liver transplant surgery. Last Saturday morning Dr. Mangus had us both in to see one... most romantic date ever! I had been in the operating room before of course, but never for a transplant. It was pretty neat! And Tim was able to follow right along and explain things, I was impressed.

And the educational experiences don't stop there! We also discovered that baking while watching the Cosby show is a really bad combination, as made manifest by a pitiful batch of charcoal cinnamon rolls...



But never to worry, the loss was nothing a quick trip to Cinnabon couldn't remedy. Bon appetit!

We went to the Indianapolis Zoo, and would you believe I forgot the camera?! Serious slap on the wrists, I wish I had had it. It was a neat zoo. It was surprisingly big and unfortunately hot, but again, highly educational. We learned that 1. hungry penguins will do anything for the lime light, 2. polar bears aren't too interested in performing, 3. walruses don't even show up for the show, 4. baby monkeys dig in dirt, 5. elephants find humor in spraying water at innocent passersby, and 6. if tigers weren't behind glass, they would eat everything! Tim pet a shark, I chickened out. I did however try my hand at speaking Ostrich... it didn't seem impressed. Better luck next time
