First Tuna, Second Tuna, Barracuda, and Bass. They get together every Friday nicht ans sing scales for the halibut.

but is there any update on this book project of yours, Marthe? I'm not herring anything. Wondering if you're on the perch of literary greatness or if you'll flounder?

Hope I don't sound crabby. I'll clam up now!

I predict you'll get writer's block and end up floundering on this.
