I had figure skating lessons until I was 13, and then my mom sobered up and realized I was a boy.

It's a beautiful day out for Christmas Eve.. hope everyone is having a wonderful holidays so far. I have been eating far too much food. Yes, to me holidays are an excuse to eat as much as humanly possible. And then hibernate after they are over. Personally that sounds wonderful..

Sharing some goldfish photos from Hong Kong.. the new 50mm lens took great pictures of the fish in their tanks. I had a blast going through the "Goldfish Village" (at Ocean Park in Hong Kong -- their equivalent of Sea World) and taking photos. Not sure why asian goldfish always have extra.. parts (??) on certain parts of their bodies. As far as survival of the fittest, I'm not sure what having bubbly cheeks, bulging eyes, and giant growths on their foreheads are doing for them.
