  Ram Man likes hanging out with his Pantasy's brick-bult Snoopy and Woodstock friends.

  My much loved Oscar fish, Diego is in a hospital tank getting antibiotics for issues with his swim bladder and gill inflammation. We're doing the best we can to nurse him back to health.

  I love Cosmos. Cosmos was my favorite minibot. I've liked his all too-infrequent reimaginings, especially the Velocitron release. This version, however, is a pinheaded abomination.

  As I desperately try to heal Diego, my Oscar, I now have the same hatred for sports fishing that I do for sports hunting.

  Wyatt was confused why I am only lighting the home office with a table lamp. I told her dim lights help Diego rest and he needs it after his trip to the vet yesterday. #caturday

  Diego has been through a rough week with a hospital tank, crashing, emergency move home, vet visit, tube feeding, injected antibiotics, and now salt treatment for his gills. He’s still very sick, but he’s still swimming, breathing, and fighting. I love my silly fish. #fish

  Came downstairs to see my beloved fish friend doing a bit of swimming, he tires and does a controlled swim back to his favorite resting stone, but as long as Diego keeps fighting, we're giving him a fighting chance. He is in a tank he loves surrounded by people who love him. #fish #diego

  Our well loved Oscar fish, Diego passed away this morning. I loved him very much and I am very sad.

  I'm just feeling sad today.

  My final drive with Diego. Pet Cremation by Water up in Arlington Heights does aqua cremation for small / exotic animals, not just dogs and cats. I brought Diego there this morning, so we'll have his ashes back with our other beloved pets who I hope are waiting for us in whatever is beyond. We should have his ashes back by Saturday.

  I was tempted by that Snoopy and Woodstock LEGO set when I saw it at Barnes & Noble, then I saw the Harry f'ing Potter sets right next to it and remembered my personal LEGO boycott. I'm satisfied with my little Pantasy Snoopy & Woodstock brick-built set.

  I picked up this little Pop Mart brick-bult set of a crazy orange fish in memory of my crazy orange fish, Diego. It will guard his ashes when they come home.

  My favorite flights are the flights home. Kentucky is down below.

  We moved our daughter in to college today. So many feelings.

  Leaving home for the first time and leaving her on her own for the first time. She will get to experience something her mother and I never did, as we were college commuters, and we are happy she has this opportunity.

  When I am feeling very emotional, there is one man's music I can always turn to. Thanks, PG.

  When one of the best of us dies while the literal worst of us continues to live, life can feel unfair.

  Two beloved 80 year olds have died, Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. They are not the 80 year old whose obituary we all want to read.

  The voice of Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen, has died. This week sucks.

  Why can't he just die?

  This 17 year old had an uneventful checkup at the vet. Doing well and got her nails trimmed, which makes my lap happy. Wyatt is a sweetheart. #caturday
