WatchFish should be very, very concerned if I buy them.
Yesterday Adina (it’s become a tradition for us to do this together) and I looked at 71 bettas.
We chose one. He’s my 10th fish since June 7, 2003.
The newest fish joins a legacy of some great bettas.
Today, the naming ceremony begins and will go until next Monday at 11:59 PM (Central Standard Time).

R.I.P. Doo So Pochonoboi Din :: I Jinxed It
I regret to inform you that yesterday our beloved 8th fish, Doo So Pochonoboi Din (it meant “295 Days” in Bengali) in passed away. He lived a solid 316 days. Not bad.
But, I think I jinxed it.
Hopefully Sunday we’ll go to the pet store and adopt a new baby fish. The naming ceremonies will commmence early next week, stay tuned for how you can help.
Grieving. Remembering. Still loving our...

Middle Finger :: Taking It Back for the Lord
So, it seems to me, the devil (side note: he really doesn’t have horns-they’re are a metaphor for fear) has had the middle finger far too long.
Today, I’m announcing an official campaign to take the middle finger back for the Lord.
Use it with love. Use it with imagination. Use it in a staff meeting.
Reclaim it for good and fill it with meaning like:
“you’re #1 in...

I Don’t Want to Jinx This :: Doo So Pochonoboi Din
Today marks the 295th day since our adoption of our 8th fish we affectionately named, Doo So Pochonoboi Din (it means “295 Days” in Bengali).
He made it. He’s at least lived with us as long as Sebatenga Asa (that means “7th Fish” for the obvious reasons) did.
And I wish I could say that Sebatenga Asa was our last fish, but Bebo Mi Propio Pipi (“I Drink My Own Pee,” was the 9th) came and went,...
