Year of the Fighting Fish?

Happy New Year!

 

I have to start the scale for 2008 out on the negative side, I’m afraid. My dear little fighting fish, Geddy Lee, decided to leave us for brighter waters on Sunday evening.
(It couldn’t have been a worse night to grill Mahi Mahi.)
I didn’t think it was possible to love a fish, but my family really did. We had him set up in a stylin’ little aquarium. He had his own pagoda and tree which he loved to swim in and out of, or often just perch in.
We  even gave him his own little stocking this past Christmas.
Now…sadly…he is no more.

 Faced with the tragedy of his loss, and an inquisitive 3-year-old, I had no other option but to stop at Petsmart on my way home from work yesterday
and purchase his successor, Geddy Lee II.
(He has some really big fins to fill.)

On a brighter note,
the blues band (which remains unnamed) had an awesome time on New Year’s Eve!
We played a private party and everyone loved it. (2-encores!!!)
I think, with a little effort and a few more songs,
we’ll be ready for the bar scene.
Woo Hoo!
I’ll add pics when I get some. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember to take my camera.

The other project, Passage Paid, is a stone throw from completing our demo. We found a local producer who is willing to put it together.
I guess “the dream” may soon materialize!
Lord willing, I definitely won’t complain about that.

I wonder if they allow aquariums on tour buses.
