no more fish...

as you may have noticed my sidebar decoration of swimming fish is gone. while i thought it was cute and added a whimsical element to the page, it apparently made people think the page contained some kind of virus, or was in someway 'creepy.' as i explained to kristi, it's real intent was to generate some commentary from those viewing the page, because i so rarely receive feedback on my posts of alice, i thought this strange addition would get people talking. i guess i've learned my lesson - i should have just asked and avoided the fish altogether. either way, the fish, sadly, are gone for good!
