I took a picture while feeding worms. Otherwise you can't see any fish :D

I don't like this death thing at all but the older we get the more familiar we get with it. My Mother died at 99 and her and my Mother N Law used to say all the time, it isn't any fun to outlive all your family and friends so you are alone. I guess that makes you lucky in a way because you beat...

I can't believe this is happening again in the same week. Another good friend is dying of cancer. Dennis was fine and playing golf two weeks ago and I just got a call they are putting him in hospice for lung cancer that spread. There is nothing they can do. If he dies, it will be my 6th...

I decided that for my new book, (nothing about fish) I will donate any and all profits to "The Wounded Warriors" project. I dedicated the book to the almost 50 brave, young guys who lost their life fighting on April 1st 1970 on a remote Firebase in Vietnam. I was very lucky that night and I...

Yesterday I cleaned 18 crabs for part of the Christmas Eve. dinner. My wife makes a dynamite crab sauce over linguine. Last year I think we had 21 types of seafood Christmas Eve. This is a building near my Daughters house in Manhattan. It's by Louie Vittone. I have no idea how they did it.

Last night in the pouring rain our power went out. So I called the electric company and informed them because it was only my block and not the east coast of the US. Usually it comes right back on so I just got some of my battery lights and candles so we could see. My wife was in the bath tub...

Unfortunately I received bad news last night. My close friend of over 40 years has 4th stage colon cancer. Two weeks ago he went for a routine colonoscopy and got the news. He seemed to be in perfect health, he exercised all the time by playing tennis and racquetball and ate very healthy. He...

My wife makes a great crab sauce for Christmas. I caught 8 of them but I needed another dozen so I just bought them.

Add bookmark #1 Paul B 10K Club member Excellence Award Reef Tank 365 Reef Of The Month I posted this 5 years ago :) I am not the smartest fish keeper in the world, but I am probably one of the oldest. Being one of the oldest, I have also had more time to study this stuff and more time to...

Remember, today is Pearl Harbor remembrance day, The day the US was attacked by Japan killing over 2,000 Americans and getting us into WW2

I try very hard not to put anemones in my tank but I have about 25 of them. They must come through by osmoses. I purposely don't feed them or they get huge and you can't kill them.

I got my wife a new computer for Christmas. Her old one may have caught urenema from my old Chrome book although it never went on these disease sites so I'm not sure how it got infected. :unsure: It was about $600.00 but being it is almost Black Friday it was $220.00 off. You can see how much...

I got a new computer. My wife got me this one for Christmas but she had to give it to me early because my old "Chromebook" must have gotten an ich infection from going on all these forums and almost crashed. It was so slow that I would turn it on then have breakfast, wash my car and think about...

"From Brooklyn Through Vietnam and Back". A Soldiers Story. But if you just Google my name on Amazon, it comes up under my last fish book. I didn't put it on here because I want anyone to buy it, Probably all the proceeds will go to Wounded Warriors but I am not sure yet. Some may go to...

I can' believe it. I wrote a new book, not about fish, it's about my army time in Vietnam. I sent it in to Amazon last night and it is published already and on their site. I don't know how they get this stuff done so fast. :)

I have a thought on the bristle worms. I do have a 6 line wrasse, an arrow crab, decorator crab and coral banded fish but I always had those or similar creatures so I doubt they ate the worms. I am not sure what killed them but it could have been the toxins from the sponge that I removed. I...

Thats true. Unfortunately, I feel the younger generation has no idea what that means or how freedom came about as most of the people in the world are not free and if it were not for the US, no one would be free. :confused:

I seem to have lost my bristle worms. I have not seen one in a couple of months and I usually see them when the lights are off. Also my decorator crab, arrow crab, coral banded shrimp and harlequin shrimp molted and didn't get eaten. I still have all of them and when I had a tank full of big...

Mark. I outgrew my uniform on the plane coming home from Nam. In the last 3 years I lost 35 lbs from walking. Now it fits. :)

I had my free breakfast at I Hop this morning. Veterans Day is the only time we eat there. That is my Stateside shirt. I got it when I was 19 and it still fits. :)
