If you live in a glass house
you should be swimming! We have a new abode for Gilligan, a reward for living this long. Almost as soon as he moved in, Gilligan began exploring. Within minutes he was loop-de-looping, obviously enjoying a bowl that was as twice as big as before. He then wove through the roots of his spider plant, swimming [...]
Who prayed for the fish?
It appears we have a real miracle right here on top of my desk. Just a week or so ago, I was begging Gilligan’s Uncle Andy to check the fish bowl before I arrived at work, in case any flushing needed to be done. It was that bad. Every time I came in, I had [...]
Oh, Joy!
First of all, Gilligan update: So far, so good, a little more lively this morning. He ate breakfast! Thanks to those who sent in helpful ideas about Betta health. Now then. A wonderful thing has been happening, almost without me realizing it. The twins, recently 16, have both started to get into cooking and their [...]
Gilligan is morose
Moody. Misunderstood. Maudlin. Or something. I took my little betta fish home for the holiday to be sure he got adequate attention and brought him into the office on Sunday. “Back to work, Gilligan,” I told him. “Blah,” he bubbled. Actually, he began looking a little blue (sorry!) a few days before that, swimming up [...]
Glug, glug, or due to reader requests

Things are going swimmingly! Gilligan has continued to display incredible personality, I mean, taking into account he’s a fish. He [...]
Friday’s finish
So, you know how I am just learning this technology stuff? At a ve-e-e-ry slow pace, I realize. Anyway, I made a little video of my favorite fish, Gilligan, with me newish camera. Then I figured out how to post it on YouTube, all while sitting at my desk and hoping my boss wasn’t paying [...]
Because you’ll want to know
Gilligan, the best betta in the ocean, was looking just fine this morning when I came in. He happily ate a little breakfast and is now swimming to up to the glass every time someone passes my desk. He’s such a social butterfly. Next week, I am going to begin training him to answer the [...]
Fishie ICU
We had a medical crisis here, involving Gilligan, the best betta in the newsroom. I was away on Wednesday, acting reporterish, when Gilligan went into a complete funk. He’d looked a little punky after I changed his water earlier that day, but I thought he probably just needed a nap. While I was gone, however, [...]
