The 21-day project, outlined by Dr. Bill Bellet, seems simple enough. Perform four, relatively easy, tasks each day.

Feeling like old friends, Mark Bilbrey greeted me with a big smile, a warm hug, and invited me behind the cheese case at Porter Road Butcher in East Nashville.

Surrounded by posters and thank you cards and sweet messages from school kids, Jake Belair is a bit of a rock star at the Nashville Zoo. “I have a great deal of fun showing people, including a whole lot of kids, the glamorous side of animal keeping,” he says with his big grin. Sweaty, grimy, and sporting rubber wading boots, Jake has spent the morning cutting tree branches for his
