the whole extended family was watching the penguins. It was an above-water / below-water display; they had a dry rock area and a swimming area, both in perfect view. One young penguin was having a blast diving into the water, zooming around, then popping out like a missile onto the rock. It was really aggravating the adult penguins standing around there. Finally "Zoomer" went for another wild swim and exploded from the water and right into the adults! Knocked them over like ninepins! So funny!

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
