New Family Member

Just wondering if there is some type of prize for blogging? Seems to me that Todd challenged himself to blog everyday and fell off the Earth, so I’m just wondering. Perhaps if you see him, you could put in a good word for me?

Anyway, we must announce the arrival of our newest family member, a Bearded Dragon named Sparky! He joined us on Dec. 27 as Trevor’s Christmas present. He’s been wanting a pet of his own for years, even had an aquarium in his room with a plastic lizard inside for several months and basically we finally caved in. He’s a great little critter, pretty intelligent so far and a voracious eater.

He recognizes me as “the great cook” when in fact it’s only left over veggies from dinner, doesn’t take much to impress the little guy. Anyway, look for Trevor’s input soon, I think that this lizard thing could really cover a lot of academia -math to calculate how much of his allowance is eaten per week in crickets (did you know the going rate for mini crickets is .09?) and of course writing on the blog. By the way, he’s becoming an entrepreneur too, if you’d like a chance to hold Sparky, it’ll only cost you .05/minute and that’s quite a bargain!
