The Blizzard of 1888

Jac and i discovered some interesting facts this morning. (1) you can tell the gender of a fish by looking at its tush. A concave shape in the rear end means it's a lady fish, convex is the male. (2) the cloudy condition of jac's fish tank is due to her pregnant fish excreting pheremones (sp?). this is supposed to drive the other fish crazy, but they always act crazy. (3) the blizzard of 1888 did not directly lead to the creation of the new york city subway system, as one foolish website asserted. i knew that. having been proven right, i am energized to go walk in the snow. we're going to see if the dumpling houses are open.

jac is now putting on her boots. whenever she does this, i comment that it looks like she is strapping animals to her feet. unfortunately, our overnight guest just went back to brooklyn, so this comment will go unappreciated.
