Mandatory Memo

Here we go again:

• THURSDAY, he bought me a little green spotted puffer fish that I had been pining over for weeks.
• FRIDAY, we had dinner with CJ and Aquarius, to celebrate her birthday, and I wanted to buy her a little puffer too, but they were gone and in their place were african butterfly fish, which although exotic looking, did not have the same appeal as a puffer, so we didn't bring any of them home with us.
• SATURDAY, I realized that my puffer, whom I had named Chomper, had put his name into motion and chomped off much of my beta Sweet Pea's finnage. ACKK! So, instead of having a restful afternoon, we were busy with a plethora of duties which included, and this is the part MR. Morticia gleefully demanded I put into print, BUYING ANOTHER AQUARIUM in which to house the naughty nipper.

So, for those of you inclined to mathematical calculations, I began with a 1 gallon tank at the beginning of the year, quickly followed by a 5, a 10, a 29, a 2.5 and now, another 1. MR. Morticia's only hope is that we can count these last minute additions to our family as tax deductions!!

However you choose to celebrate, we wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
