"Up to His Neck in Alligators"

The NC Zoo Society director of major gifts Cheryl Turner wrote me an e-mail today telling me why the NC Zoo's John Groves would be hard to reach by phone today.

John will be "up to his neck in alligators" she reported because he is bringing three alligators to the Zoo from Florida.

What an interesting place to work. A place where you can receive such an e-mail and where I have found, in my "in" box, as requested, an ostrich egg.
