PLEASE RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO THE MEMORY OF IGUANA

Crowder and Sylvia are two of our best friends in Austin. Unfortunately, Christmas brought sadness to their household because the Iguana died. Crowder “inherited” him (her?) on the Rice campus back in the mid 90s and Iguana (no name?) had lived with him ever since. At Rice, Iguana had been famous:

No knowing how old Iguana was ….. maybe fifteen years or so which is older than the “norm”, no knowing where it was born or from whence it came. It occupied Crowder’s bathroom for a while but eventually was promoted to its own cage, courtesy of Craig’s List ….. ….. perhaps at Sylvia’s insistence (wanted: one Iguana cage)?

Anyway, Iguana has now left Crowder with an empty cage and for that we are truly very sorry. RIP, Iguana.
