A dark day here at the Lerman-Zukowski house. Our fish, Tasty, passed away this afternoon after valiantly battling depression and another unknown gill illness for several months. He was between 14 months and several years old. Tasty came to live with us in October of last year after Jay bought him to assuage his (and Caroline's) dismay at their continued disenfranchisement. He traveled to Florida and New Jersey with us on several occasions, and was an all-around fabulous pet. In his younger days, Tasty enjoyed building bubble nests in his bowl and darting about for his food flakes. He was predeceased by Carny, his companion of several weeks, earlier this year. Tasty will be sorely missed.

Services will be held this afternoon in our bathroom. In lieu of flowers, please post comments. Or send cash or checks made out to cash.
