It strikes me as sentimental for the human, but heartbreaking for the gorilla.

Bear! Bear! Bear! I love Ape Lad!

When I was reporter in Whistler, I did a feature on the Mushroom House, and got an extensive tour. Words cannot describe how beautiful it is.

Shortly after my story appeared, the house was extensively damaged by a fire. Glad to see Zube re-built it in all its glory.

Thanks for the trip down Nostalgia Lane.

Sorry, but I will never read another word by someone who can write:

"While sitting in my living room eating a delicious, local, organic meal (we are all foodies with remarkable culinary talents)"

...with a straight face.

Thanks for the reminder of that amazing story. It's said that the pilot landed a brick that day. Some ace piloting on his part...
