Sad Day at the Pond....

Sad sad day at the pond....I go out to feed the posse and there is a floater....and its the big one that looks like a shark so very sad!! so then I take out all the little castles around the pond and check everyone out. Sadly I find the two other algae eaters dead but hidden inside the coral and logs! So the total is 3 dead..out of 11. Not a great percentage. Of course I was on the cruise all week but Kevin swears he fed them and everything. But still....bummer... So I checked out the rest of the crew and honestly they don't look well so I call Fishy 911 (Gina at exotic aquatics) and she will be by tomorrow to check them out and test the water to see what it could be. Sad Sad Day.....

In other news, we (me and Liz) are back from the cruise. Since it was a working cruise, it wasn't as much fun as the others but still, if you have to work why not do it on the high seas? Our day on the beach at Grand Cayman was sooooo worth it!! Beautiful water, pina coladas, great music...totally fab! Other than that is was like being at an Amway convention for a week and everyone wants to talk to us.......not a bad gig necessarily but tiring. Lots to do on our return so we're hard at it. Chris (our marketing assistant) got to work from home the week we were gone and I have to say he made great progress. So we told him we were planning to take him to Hawaii with us in Dec. when the seminars he's working on are presented for the first time. It sounds very generous, but in reality its to save our bacon! if something goes wrong he can fix it whereas we would be totally in the dark.

Another good thing that happened on the cruise is that Todd's web guy was there and we got to talk (REALLY talk). I have to say I really like this guy (Ernest Barbaric) and he has his own company. He is fab if you are needing some web work done so check him out www.ernestmedia.com. He's in Canada, but if you can overlook that he's a great strategist so give him a buzz and see what he can do for you!
