July 16, 2009
Yesterday morning, our daily routine was interrupted by an army of ants. First I saw Copley start dancing, then they got me. I started dancing. (For onlookers I'd image that both of us were doing the "Elaine from Seinfeld" dance, yeah!) My feet are covered in welts and are buring - now I know whey they call them fire ants. It burns!

A Tale of Two Toads
