Both of the tiny skinny fishes are responding well to having been plucked from starvation. I looked in on them tonight and saw fat fish.

Well, not fat. But they're no longer paper thin. More like tiny paper envelopes with a ball bearing tucked into each. In particular, I'm pleased that the one fish that was nearly too weak to swim has been eating.

Whew!

rand()m quote

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
