are you an ethologist?

Ethology is such a big word I have to keep looking it up to remember what it means. Am I an ethologist? “No,” not by occupation, and “Yes,” if being interested in animal behavior counts.

What did you think of the documentary March of the Penquins? I thought it was awesome. (That reminds me, I was going to add it to my favorite movies list.)

Have you seen the Korean documentary Old Partner about an elderly farmer Choi and his ox.

I would love to see it but haven’t been able to find it.

I like your March of the Penguins analogy. But surely you’ve not been that hard on your parents have you? ;-)

Were you able to buy Old Partner, or how did you get to see it?

I like the name of your blog — do you live by a lake?

My current occupational title is Job Coach. I work with adults in a vocational setting who are mentally challenged. Most people I work with have a dual diagnosis of mental retardation/mental illness. We disassemble small appliances and other items to recover the metal from them.
