Pretty bad, eh!?  Chester travelled in a separate 2-gallon goldfish bowl so 
that I could change his water twice daily. 

I've just posted diary entries for the last two weeks on my new weblog, 
which will be updated more or less weekly for the next year, until I return 
to Seattle.

Those of you making the journey out to Atlanta for the Cichlid convention, 
keep me updated on your travel plans!  I'll be working noon-9PM with 
Tues-Wed off (probably) but I'm negotiating to take at least one of the 
convention days off work - preferably the day which involves a trip to the 
Chattanooga aquarium! 

I have plenty of room to accomodate visitors, if anyone needs a place to 
stay.  Unfortunately, I'm located on the opposite side of Atlanta from the 
convention location, so my apartment is not exactly convenient.  But we'll 
at least have to meet for a meal! (Please!?) 

As a final (on-topic) note, WE NEED ARTICLES!  :)
