Man, I wish I could get a fat grant to do the type of “research” I am currently doing. Some might call it a “vacation,” but I don’t think you can get federal money for that.
Maybe I could describe the research as my wife and my taking inventory of the current species of fish along in the x area of the y reef in the Caribbean. Tally so far: 54 species. Not bad. Not great. Of course, we aren’t professionals, but experienced amateurs. And frankly, it ain’t easy. For those of you unfamiliar with reef fish, many have juvenile forms and colorations completely different from the adult/terminal phases. And then there are all those tiny fish and the fish that outright bolt at first sight of you . . . . Nonetheless, a very satisfying pursuit.
