The late Christmas letter, part 2
This year continued the trend of BAQ’s computer slowing down. Much to our chagrin, the memory cannot be replaced. Forecasts are for this problem to continue into the next year. We will keep you posted because I am sure you care.
The light bulb burnt out above the back door but we cannot replace it due to lack of ladder.
JCQ learned that BAQ has a serious snail infestation problem. In. His. Aquarium. The snails are very sexual and are reproducing faster than rabbits and taking over. This is not the only tank tragedy that occurred this year. There was an algae bloom in May, and the algae eater’s waistline bloomed along with it. He now needs a quintuple bypass. Minnow #2 had an almost fatal bout with fungus infestation. He is feeling much better as of late and has been reintroduced into the main tank. Panda Corey #3 sadly passed away this year. We hope he rests in peace just like the song Mambo #9. But with death comes new life, and, fortunately, Petland has a 30-day return policy and he was exchanged for Panda Corey #4. JCQ also got four cherry barbs for her birthday. They are super cute and she named them Maraschino, Cream Soda, Cherry Pop, and Whitey.
Things JCQ has dropped this year:
- Learning how to walk at the Running Room with BAQ. Just couldn’t get the thing down.
- Freaky Advanced Art Class with weird teacher
- Guitar lessons
- Competitive bridge lessons with BAQ.
- Weight training class
- Helping with our symphony’s book sale stuff.
- Briarpatch subscription
- Membership to our Community Radio
- Max 5 bars and a related Jazzercise class. Quitting Max 5 bars cleared up the Jazzercise.
- Doing the dishes
- The M.C. Thome Fan Club after JCQ decided he was a sham
Throughout the year BAQ has lost many a nail clipper. He does not know where they have gone, but he thinks JCQ is hoarding them all.
