I like "Bartender"! Does anyone else besides me have the desire to invite friends over for drinks and a night of watching the aquarium?

That's my long-term goal, but I'll combine it with playing Magic: the Gathering because I am a huge geek. Reef + beer + Magic = Perfect evening!

Rant, my son is a big MTG fan. He plays in regional tournaments and has a pretty serious card collection. We debate whether bridge or MTG is the better game. For me, Reef + Wine + Bridge = Perfect evening.

All the time.

jgvergo, wine is great too! I never got the hang of bridge though. Somehow, I can keep track of the names and abilities of thousands of Magic cards but bridge was beyond me. Maybe if the cards had dragons and wizards on them I'd do better.

I used to be in the Magic tournament scene but I was younger with more free time then. It also occurs to me that liquidating my collection would pay for a killer reef tank.
