Know I’m a bit partial but Matt Damon’s latest blockbuster #Elysium is a must see!

My favorite scene (surprise, surprise) is when the little girl (Matilda) tells Matt Damon (Max) a story about a meerkat and a hippo.  The tiny meerkat is unable to reach any food on the trees because he is too small.  The meerkat befriends a hippo and stands on its back so he can gather fruit from the trees for the two of them.  Initially, Max asks the girl, “What’s in it for the hippo?” Matilda tells him the hippo wanted a friend.  Max’s last words of the film are, “Now I understand why the hippo did it.”

If you’re a fan of #District9 by @NeilBlomkamp, go see Elysium.  Have fun!

Another wonderful addition to the Chimfunshi family--Jewel.  How cute is he!  I can tell you from experience that Sheila is a FABULOUS mom.  And, Jewel keeps her very busy.

My sister, Sylvia, couldn't wait to tell our friend, Jackie (she does my typing) that Jewel has his dad's face.  Val is Jewel's dad and Jackie's FAVORITE.  Jackie brought Val to his new home at Chimfunshi along with another chimp, named Kathy.  It's very entertaining listening to Sylvia and Jackie go at it when discussing the "best looking chimp."  Sylvia thinks it's her boy--Brian and Jackie, of course, thinks it's her darling Val.

They say, "it takes a village to raise a child" and it is no different with an infant chimp.  All "hands and paws" on deck.  As you can see, my girl, Tess, takes her babysitting duty very seriously.  Look at how attentive she is!  It's winter time in Zambia so it gets quite cold especially at night.  Jewel is very young and like a baby can catch a cold quite easily.  To avoid this, we toss on a t-shirt and wrap him in a blanket so he is nice and warm.  Hey Sylvia, thanks for sharing your photos of Jewel and Tess!

Gotta go... I'm up next for babysitting duty...
