Not sure how polite it is to post ones exact age... but I did learn this interesting fact that I am sure it is okay to share:
The Emperor Penguin is the largest known
species...and they are about 3'7" tall, so I was having a hard time with our penguin being almost 6 feet tall.. till I read that "Some prehistoric species reached enormous sizes, becoming as tall or as heavy as an adult human... " which might help in explaining the age and height of our penguin.

Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid, and other forms of sea life caught while swimming underwater. They spend about half of their life on land and half in the ocean. Our penguin spends more time on land than usual as we all 
know his favorite food is chocolate!!!
know his favorite food is chocolate!!!
Frannie's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies made just for our penguin are one of the finest chocolates to eat ... There are a lot of squirrels in Atlanta that can testify to that!!!!
The average day in the life of a penguin is filled with adventure and drama, as they struggle to live and thrive in a challenging environment and changing climate. We all know our penguin is a busy penguin!
Yes, that's our Penguin running for the post office with yet another package for a friend... the perfect smile maker... and he knows how to make us all smile!
He finds the time to write and share with 
us....... so much knowledge.. so much fun... so much beauty.......... You only have to go through his 
blogs to understand why so many love going back over and over again... You will find the nicest people there... and will have the best time. He calls it "Mumblings From a Padded Cell" and what a great penguin to be locked up with!

The Penguin loves to read and has a thirst for knowledge!
Antarctic Dreams........ and he has a few of his own.... which I know include his friends, travel and exploring a few caves.
I am sure everyone agrees they are looking good!
He makes time for fine music and so often shares his rare finds with us!
Don't tell this penguin it can't be done, he just might be the bird that can do it!!!
The penguin is happiest in time spent with friends...
*A big thanks to the Gator for his help
with the chocolate ice cream Penguin,
the running with package Penguin. And
The Three Amigos group!

I know you must be horribly wounded by his passing, and please know how many of us are feeling your pain, in a deep way but one that cannot surpass what you must be feeling. Please know you are in my prayers cuz that is just where John would have wanted you in this case.
