Wolf enclosure

Imagine you are watching me in the wolf cage.

You took the  above photo and many more.

You watch me make my 2nd mistake of the day – lie on my back.

I found out that day that wolves like me. Really like me.

You formulate a question and wait until I leave the enclosure.

You ask :

At what point did you regret going into the wolf enclosure?

Looking back, I think it was exactly at the point the first picture was taken.

Ten years before that day

 

 

A very strange thing happened to me at work.

I left my id badge on my desk. When I went back to get it, my boss was using it.

He was tracing round my face with his mouse.

That is not a euphemism.

It was a primitive drawing program for the PC. My boss was using the face on my id to test it.

He printed off the work he had done.

This was on a dot matrix printer, so you can imagine how impressed I was.

 

A good caption can wait

 

I took that piece of paper with my traced face and added a caption.

I hung it on the wall so everyone would see it as they entered the office.

“Spot the idiot competition.”

No-one understood what I had done or why I had done it.

Yet I predicted with my caption  my time in the wolf enclosure many years in advance.

There is a wolf rescue center up near Cripple Creek in Colorado – here it is .

They rescue wild wolves and offer  tours for fools    daily feeding tours allowing you to go in with the wolves.

I went in with a fist full of raw meat.

One of those things I didn’t regret but wouldn’t do twice.
