Last week Bob and I were having lunch downtown at Philippe’s (Home of the Famous French Dip and .09 cent cup of coffee). We were sharing a table with a friendly, older woman who was missing a finger and a man with only one eye and a hole in his face where a nose would usually be. Sitting on the table next to this gentleman was a gallon size Ziploc freezer bag, inside were three copies of a book called Moe.
When we got home, I googled the book and happened upon a 2008 newspaper article about the remarkable story of the couple we were sitting with and a chimp named Moe. I posted that. Wendi read it and then directed me to this article in Esquire. Amazing. It’s worth the read.
The story is fascinating.
I love Philippe’s.
And Google.
And Wendi.
Oh, my goodness! I just read a GREAT article about that couple in, Esquire? GQ? I can't remember which magazine, exactly, but it's a fascinating story. You have got to find the article ASAP. I can't believe you were next to them.
ReplyDeleteI just found it! I am replacing it in the post! Thanks! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great article. Thanks for linking to it. Fascinating story.
ReplyDeleteI just read the story. Unbelievable. It's such an uplifting story, and then ends so sadly. Moe's "disappearance" from Jungle Exotics sounds like a cover up. I think something fishy happened.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard about OLIVER?
