Me, Dave and Julie went for our first cookout of the summer at Lasalle Park the other day. Or Front Park? Or are those really the same thing? Anywho it was nice to get some grilled hamburger and hotdog goodness and potato salad and grilled asparagus and yumminess. It was a little cold at night by the water so we hastily had to leave when we all started to freeze but not before first trying to take a picture infront of the sunset/water...unfortunately none of the photos came out wel, these were prolly the best.

I want everyone to learn this dance before the next (e:strip) party. Step, Clap, JAZZ HAND BURST!!!!!!!!

For years I have been trying to figure out if there really was a show or if I had made it up about these detective kinda like Drag Net but they solved math problems. I was also pretty sure one episode involved a gorilla, well a man dressed as a gorilla. Noone else I have ever talked to about it has ever remembered it at all. Then today I'm looking at wikipedia about Zoobillee Zoo and what is on the bottom as related but SQUARE ONE TELEVISON and I was like I think that's it. And so I go to the page and it was. It was a whole show about math on PBS from 1987-1994 and each episode ended with an episode of Mathnet. I still haven't found mention of a gorilla but this is definitely it! It feels so good to finally find it and know I didn't make it up. I could always picture it so vividly I knew it had to be real .

P.S. I just found it on a fan website episode 100-105 the episode of the missing monkey:
    
1.2 "The Problem of the Missing Monkey"
Episodes 101-105. Rerun in 136-140.
Directed by Charles S. Dubin
Co-Starring Yeardley Smith (Jane Rice-Burroughs), Dale Park (Grunt), J. Downing (Stock Boy), Lou Cutell (Store Manager), Dick Wilson (Grocer), Paul Tuerpe (Pie Balboa), Joseph Whipp (Buck Clyde), Sandy Gimpel (Stunt Double - Jane), Mike Cassidy (Stunt Double - George)
The Mathnetters are in the midst of a wild caper when local grocery stores report being robbed -- first food, later money -- by a gorilla. In a major twist, Grunt the gorilla is reported missing from the zoo. Jane Rice-Burroughs, Grunt's best friend, claims that Grunt could never have robbed the stores, and fake gorilla tracks found in a pizzeria support her claim. When gorilla sightings are made in different places at the same time, Kate and George conclude that a man, Janos Prokedzion, committed the robberies in a gorilla suit using kidnapped Grunt as a scapegoat. However, while Prokedzion pretends to be Grunt at the zoo, Grunt, having really escaped from Janos, climbs the Hollywood Sign and puts the mistaken George in grave danger.
