Hoover died last evening. During my nap I think. I had got accustomed to him, as had Pi, I think; at some point I began thinking of him as Pi's monster, like he was Pi's pet or something. He seemed fine when I got home, but later on when I peered into the tank looking… Continue reading other news

a funeral by the sea
Tara Lynne and I buried Trés deep in the sands of Coney Island yesterday. We rode our bikes out to the seaside, by way of Bedford Avenue, lined with so many large old houses, with proper yards and driveways-- "real" houses. The day was balmy and pleasant with sun and breezes, and it was a… Continue reading a funeral by the sea

Tres has left these shores. Pi is alone again.
trouble
I am simply having a devil of a time taking care of the behemoth fishes these days. Tres somehow managed to injure himself over the weekend; apparently in the wee hours of the night. At feeding time Sunday morning, I noticed he was lying in a corner on the bottom and didn't immediately swim up… Continue reading trouble
is it thursday again?
I won't discuss time again. I will mention, briefly, that my battle with the dreaded aquarium bacteria is ongoing, but they are decidedly on the losing side; their annihilation is imminent. The lugging of 5 gallon buckets has been good for my arms, at least, and Pi and Tres seem to love all the attention… Continue reading is it thursday again?

Aigghh!!! So, Friday morning I had to change out a great deal of the water again, and more salt.… Continue reading h20

I felt it coming on last evening, and so closed off the front room and started up the AC; it has remained quite cool (though i turned it off this morning), as I haven't opened the windows to let in warmer air from without! The past couple of… Continue reading heat index
second month begins
I neither watched nor listened to the man commonly referred to as the President last night. Can't bear it. (I suppose I ought to at least read about it somewhere. Perhaps in the Onion...) The resinating of the Table has grown epic and tiresome, taking entirely too much material and time. It wouldn't be so… Continue reading second month begins

Bell Hollow played at Southpaw last evening; they sounded great. The newer stuff they played (not yet recorded) was really good. The Curious Miss K shall be arriving in town tomorrow evening. She and I have much catching up to do. (understatement) Not seen her since the summer, and that seems a long time ago.… Continue reading tamarind
60º in November
Here's an inspiring read from Mr. Bresny: "Bigger, Better, More Interesting Problems" There are more excerpts from his Pronoia book as well. A real smarty-pants, that one. And such a freak! In other news: Sad: Our lovely black Koi, Coffee, has merged with the Infinite. A shocking return to Brooklyn after a holiday weekend upstate;… Continue reading 60º in November
