Woohooo! I had this brilliant thought that perhaps since I was no longer an Adelphia customer but a comcast customer, that maybe Comcast didn’t block port 80. And they don’t! So, what this means is all that :8080 crap isn’t needed anymore. nachzen.net, blog.nachzen.net, nachzen.net/blog, gallery.nachzen.net should all just work now. Man, that makes me happy.
So, lately one of the fish has been swelling as though she swallowed a pea. We suspected she was egg-laden, and I found proof when I cleaned the tank today. In the out-water bucket I found 6 baby fish! They look like sticks with eyeballs, and are very, very small. Maybe 1/4″ long. Since their parents will eat them if I leave them in the tank, I got a cheap little 1.5 gallon tank to raise them in…
Berck drove me to work this morning, because despite it having snowed all night and a forecast for more of the same today, he woke up incredulous at a clear sky, which meant there was a possibility he might have to work.

Make sure you bring us the WORLD FAMOUS fajitas!” 3. “No, this isn’t Winn Dixie. You have the wrong number. But wait! You might be someone I want…
I’ve been tagged to complete this task. When I was probably between eight and ten, we had just come in from recess, and was skipping down the short hallway in my small school and passed one of the older girls (actually, THE oldest student) bending over to take a drink out of the water fountain. Being such a small school, everyone knew everyone else, and I didn’t think twice but took a swing at the girl’s protruding rear end with the flat of my hand. She turned and gave me a whithering look, being too old to tackle me with…
