I was wrong about the reptile house position’s salary, what I thought was the starting salary was the ending salary. I was about $20,000/year off base. So much for that. Looks like I’ll have to do life the old fashioned way and finish school to provide a better future for my family. I see enough people around me taking ideas and making them happen that I won’t let go of dreams to make money doing something I love, but for now I’ve got to take the safe route.

Eilene and I headed out to the Ft. Worth Zoo on Saturday afternoon. Their primate facility is breathtaking, and the grounds are quite nice. Some exhibits were MIA, as they are constructing an enormous compound right in the middle of the zoo that will house the country’s largest herpetorium.

It’s been surreal to go to the Dallas and Ft. Worth Zoos and walk through their reptile houses, and knowing where to get 95% of the animals in there and how much they cost, off the top of my head. I’m definitely on the internet too much.

I’m feeling better as I’ve fought through some medical problems, so I’ll most likely devote more time to writing in the near future. Sisyphus cat tries again.
