Thanks to Jives, frequent commenter who is embedded in the New England Aquarium, for relaying my love note to the rockhopper penguins there. I just received a message back from them this morning.
Long-time DSN readers may know, I have an affinity for penguins having volunteered at the Monterey Bay Aquarium long ago taking care of 15 blackfoots!

Ann Littlewood is a one-time zoo keeper and now-time murder mystery writer whose stories take place in and around zoos. An awesome combination if you ask me.
The world's largest zoo and aquarium shot glass collection just got one glass bigger. Someone call the Guinness Book! Growing up in Connecticut, The Mystic Aquarium was basically Benny and my Disney World.
Who, I ask you, is the coolest human being on the planet? Well yesterday (continuing through today and possibly tomorrow) it was Beth F. for sending me this rocking shot glass from the Oakland Zoo.
As many of you know, I collect zoo and aquarium shot glasses. I have the world's largest and probably only collection and it is my pride and joy. When I die, my children will most likely be left poor in "money" but rich in shot glasses. A legacy we can all be proud of.
Now you've made them jealous.
LMAO. Sorry! But those cute yellow bushy brows... so irresistible!
