I just noticed that one of the fish is missing from my tank.  Now, this would be less unusual if the tank were smaller; however, it's only 5 gallons.  There were two of each kind of fish, and now I only see one cherry barb.  The baffling thing is that I don't see any fish remains or floating fish anywhere.  The tank is covered, so the fish can' ( Read more... )

    After several long plane flights in which I was not given anything that I could eat, I have learned to call Continental ahead of time to confirm my vegetarian meal.  I generally book my flights on continental.com, as this is easy and ensures that I get credit for the miles.  When I called on Tuesday, the person that answered the phone explained ( Read more... )

Hey, let me know if you are the person who talked to me about dashboard hula girls.  I had a conversation not long ago, but am blanking on the other person.

    Mele and I were entered in a CPE agility trial yesterday.  There are a number of organizations available for dog agility; this is the the that people claim is the most fun.  We did have a lot of fun.  We would have qualified for the next level of competition in both of our events, except that Mele knocked a bar on the gamble and missed a ( Read more... )

    I have needed to go shoe shopping for a while.  For work shoes, not fun shoes, which is a whole lot less interesting.  I've been putting it off, since I hate dealing with mall traffic and haven't quite decided what type of shoes I want.  However, the sneakers that I've been wearing are starting to wear through near the heel, and I managed to ( Read more... )

    So, I acquired a small tank with a betta fish about two years ago.  I have been thinking about getting another fish to swim around with the first guy, just to make the tank more interesting.  Bettas are actually peaceful fish, as long as you don't try to introduce more than one male in the tank; I had a 10-gallon aquarium in California with a ( Read more... )

    I am bad about blogging.  I periodically vow to be better, but it seems like I don't often have the inspiration to write.  Or I'm inspired to write, but nowhere near a computer.  I have been reading a lot, and wanted to keep track of the books.  However, I didn't want this blog taken over by that (in the hopes that I will someday actually blog ( Read more... )

    On Wednesday, Mele and I went to agility class.  He kept drinking water, only to have the bowl flip over.  This is unusual, as he is generally not a dog that tips over water bowls.  After the third time that this happened, it suddenly dawned on me that he was still wearing the magnet on his collar, left over from his stay at Toller Camp.     ( Read more... )
