Shamu

OK so I may be a little behind the times, seeing as the horrible Shamu-eats-trainer thing happened about 4 weeks ago, but I just thought all of you would like to see how close to death I came as a little 4 year old. This is me in the SanDiego SeaWorld (where we had season passes back when we lived there), kissing Shamu. To my left is Michael Meador, for those who know him from Pensacola. Phew~~ we both made it out alive!

Upon wiki-ing Shamu I was sad to discover that my claims to have kissed the "real" Shamu have been false all these years! the original Shamu died in 1971.
