Thoughts on Mayweather vs. Ortiz

Mayweather was completely dominating the fight. He knew it and Ortiz knew it. It was pretty easy to see that Ortiz was starting to get really frustrated that he was throwing six and seven punch combinations and expending lots of energy to maybe landing one glancing blow. Floyd was also landing those overhand rights pretty much at will and without much effort. If Ortiz wasn’t 15 or so pounds bigger than Floyd, he probably would have been wobbly by the fourth.…

One Year Anniversary of Our Tank

Monday was the 1 year anniversary of our fish tank. To celebrate, I created a little photo slide show. Enjoy!  Unfortunately, our fish Hanna got starting showing symptoms of illness the day after I posted this video. She died sometime last night. It’s a challenging hobby!

Hank is now Hanna

The discus that rules our tank was originally named Jack…until she laid eggs and we had to rename her Jackie. Well, last week the low man on the totem pole decided to lay eggs. That’s right, Hank is now Hanna!    Sarah first noticed Hanna doing the pre-egg laying routine of pecking and swimming alongside the candidate branch like object. Being my know-it-all self, I insisted that Hanna was just looking for food.…

Random Tank Update

One of our tank lights comes with LED moonlights, but the light is on a timer. The moonlights don’t have a separate power cord, so they can’t be run after the timer switches the light off. We were thinking of buying a moonlight, but then we remembered that we had some left over lights from Christmas. MacGuyver!…
