Birthday Party Followup

By all accounts, my Dad had a great Birthday Party and he really enjoyed himself...which is the most important thing. Veronica and I went back down to help with the cleanup last night. About 90% of the decorations were taken down in about an hour of so. It took about 5-6 hours spread out over several days to get everything decorated and only about an hour to get it taken down. There is still just a few things to get done and I will tackle them this morning. Veronica and I can now focus a litttle more on our upcoming Alaskan cruise vacation which coming up in 19 days. Before that gets here, Veronica has to fly up to Detroit for some type of training session. She will leave this upcoming Sunday and return late Thursday night. When she returns, we will start packing our bags up. I always enjoy the packing up of our bags portion of the trip. It usually means that bigger things are on the horizon for us.

Anything More Than A Mouthful Is Excess

Sorry guys...I'm not referring to "them". What I am referring to is the big fish shown below that has more than its fair share of teeth. Get a gander at the choppers on this thing.
It is a Giant Tigerfish (aka Goliath Tigerfish, African Tigerfish). Tigerfish and piranha belong to the same family (Characidae) but are entirely different species, according to someone well versed in such things. I believe that it was caught in the Amazon.

Joke Of The Day

My friend, Ken Gauthier from up in Ontario Canada sent me this joke. Thanks for sharing Ken.

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Killing flies" he responded.
"Oh! Killing any?" She asked.
"Yep, 3 male and 2 females" he responded.
Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?"
He responded, "Well three were on a beer can and the other two were on the phone."
