That’s who I’m going to meet tomorrow - well, me and a couple busloads full of fifth graders. I’m so excited. I’m scared already, just from looking at the pictures. I mean, really - do you think these three boys ever have nightmares?
See, because, what I am seeing tomorrow is a cast replica - but, those sweet boys are looking at the real, for real, actual ….head of a T-Rex!
Maybe it didn’t help that I watched Godzilla with my son yesterday! 
The images of Godzilla are helping Sue ‘come alive’ for me, you know? I mean, good gosh! Sue’s hips are 12 feet high! Just her hips!
I have been doing some reading up on her and I am getting more excited with every page that I read. The Field Museum, in Chicago, Illinois, with the help of many sponsors - purchased Sue for $8.4 million!
Her debut was in May 2000, and she even had a special piece of music written just for her big debut, by The Chicago Chamber Musicians. The piece is called, “Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto”. I just love the sound of that! I mean, the name, that is. I haven’t actually heard the piece. That would be really cool if I could find it on YouTube and then I could post it here for all of us to enjoy together!
Ok, I’m sure I’ll have lots of good stuff to report after ‘meeting’ her - so for now…
