The Exciting Life of Tony

Tony spends approximately 20 percent of every day staring at the fish tank. That's a lot of time when you consider the 75 percent of his day that he knocks out with sleep, eating, and playing in his kitty litter box. This is pretty impressive considering most of the fish died two summers ago, so there are only five fish left in a huge tank. But, even so, Tony is absolutely enthralled with the almost non-existant activity in the tank. Yesterday, though, something happened. One of the fish boldly jumped above the surface of the water and made a splash. I could literally see Tony's world shake. In Tony's world, it was the equivalent of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's wedding in the life of the paparazzi. I was so happy for him in all of his little shaky, wide-eyed excitement. I'm pretty sure it was one of the best days of his life.
