Fishing


It's official. The outdoor season has begun. I have mucked out the pond (which is a euphemism for "overgrown puddle") in the backyard and gotten the trickle of water known in our Brobdingnagian world as a "waterfall" going. But most important, I made a trip up to our local big-name department store for cheap fish. (The ones last year didn't make it through the winter.) Three $1.88 fantail goldfish no bigger than your thumb now live happily in the pond. Their names: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
