The Omigee Dilemma

As we are well underway in our packing, Air Boss and I are trying to keep a wary eye on all the items that won't go on the moving truck but rather, will accompany us in our minivan. Right now, I think we have enough stuff to fill a U-Haul twelve-footer.

So, now that we've upgraded to a U-Haul (not), we figured we could take on more stuff. Well Air Boss now wants to schlep our little (but full adult-sized) blue betta fish, Omigee. I'm worried the poor guy won't even make it into the Central Time Zone.

If the 3,000 mile car ride won't be enough of an experience, we can always throw in 'Shroom's and Lolli's first lesson on death should the little blue guy bite the dust before we reach our final destination.

Well, it's not a done deal with regards to Omigee. We'll have to see 1) how packed the minivan really is, 2) if I can find a container that will let the blue guy swim around enough so that we're just under the threshold of animal cruelty, and 3) whether or not Air Boss and I are ready to have the "death discussion" with the kids.

Stay tuned . . .
