RIP Bubba. 2004-2009.

Bubba, the giant Tiger Oscar, died this morning. Many of you may remember Bubba as the fish that thrashed about wildly in our living room. Kelsey thought she would be happy when this day came, but she was saddened by the passing of the fish. Now we have to decide what to do with a 60 gal tank.

The scale is probably not evident in the picture. Bubba was probably 12" long or so, and weighed around 10 lbs . And no, the water was not green. It was a function of the camera flash.Bubba was preceded in death by Cheeky (2005), and an innumerable amount of rosy reds.

New Year's 2009

Welcome to the last year of the 'aughts. Our evening was a trip to the Village Pub, and then off to Maxwell's. Mike and I did not subsidize the events this year, however.

Derek and Nicole made the trip all the way from Germany just for New Year's! (okay, maybe not just New Years)Here we are celebrating 2009.Shawn was our dispenser of fine tasty tonics.
One half of the Aaron (Erin) Zimmermans made it.
Alicia, Kelsey, and Malinda.
I think Derek's been caught in the headlights. Or at least looks like a deer caught in headlights.
Jen and Rob McGarry made it out too!
I don't know what point Nicole was trying to get across.
