July 27: A Fish Burial

I've attended funerals in my life, but never quite like the ceremony my family held this evening. Back in March, I wrote a blog entry about the passing of our pleco, Stud, whom we inherited from my Mom and Dad. Well, over the past 4 months, Stud has been residing in our freezer in the basement, as we awaited the right day to properly lay him to rest. Tonight was that night. We found a nice spot in yard, dug the hole, carefully removed Stud from his freezer bag, and placed him within. Both kids said a few words in Stud's memory and that was that. Yep, we're a bit of an odd family.
