Hey there! Do you prefer to be called Diane, or Thor? It sounds like you have a real nice place up there, with your sheep and llamas and cats and children's book illustrator and whatnot.

Not sure about the fish. I thought that tarpon was a tropical beast that Hemingway wannabees fought on rented boats. Fish are my biggest blind spot when it comes to New England fauna.

I was vaguely aware of there being freshwater jellies, but I've definitely never seen them! Now at least I've seen a picture: http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artnov99/fwjelly.html

My email address is pretty public hereabouts. Check out my profile, or just email me at jefctaylor@hotmail.com

p.s. I'm still a little guy, but I'm not skinny anymore.
For evidence, scan through my wife's journal: cottonmanifesto
