On Sunday, Meredith and I went to some museum in Newark with my parents. They had a rad collection of some truly scary African masks.

A baby cotton-top tamarin!

But the best part was the little indoor zoo they had upstairs. Here's a dwarf mongoose!

...The Exploratorium! Which is this totally huge hands-on science museum where you get to play and experiment with stuff.

And then on Sunday, I Paul invited me out again to check out the "Beautiful Losers" art exhibit at one of the local SF museums. I asked him for the address and he was like "Oh, it's on Mission and 3rd St." I was like "Oh, new place is 2 streets over and 13 blocks away - so I'll walk over and see you in like 15 minutes." Yeah, too bad that's an estimate based on the size of city blocks in NYC - turns out that "blocks" in SF are like a 1/4 each and so it ended up taking me just about an hour to get there. Hahaha. Doh.

At the entrance to the gallery, they had a kidney-shaped "swimming pool" made out of wood and plywood. Here's the view underneath. Pretty neato.

On Thursday morning I headed over to the Metropolitan Museum to check out another Watson Adventure scavenger hunt.

I'd been living in NYC for almost five years and this was only the second time I'd ever managed to make it to the Met (which is embarrassingly criminal). The "arms and armor" display there is one of the craziest things I've ever seen in a museum.

Back in early March I was being interviewed as a candidate to take over the operations for small NYC company that creates and hosts scavenger hunts around the city. (I ended up taking the job, but was only there for three months before I was offered a job out in San Francisco - which is where I'm writing this from). Anyway, while I was interviewing with them, I was invited out to check out one of their scavenger hunts that they were holding at the Museum of Natural History. So I headed up there to check it out with Grant and my favorite married couple David and Miye.
