Back when I was a child, in the days when the only jobs open to women were as nurses, teachers, cashiers or secretaries, I decided I wanted to be a zoologist. I have no idea how I planned to make a living at that. Mostly, I wanted to hang out with animals, befriend them, watch them having babies and enjoying life. Your posts bring back those memories and I always enjoy reading them.
