This is a hamadryas baboon at the San Diego Zoo. Isn't he handsome? In the bottom picture he's playing with a baby baboon, just as any good daddy should.

The picture of responsible simian parenthood. Thoughts of one particular anthropic relationship that suffers by comparison intrude.

Amazingly better hair and social skills than the American baboon colony.

Both apt comments; can't improve upon these, but thanks for these pictures of creatures living their normal lives.

Gonna hug my little tortoiseshell now.

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
