Greetings and Introduction

Greeting my dear reader.  Welcome to the pages wherein the events of my modest life are to be documented.  I've never been one to linger in introductions, so I'll come directly to the meat of it.  My name is Second Mate Stubb, and I presently reside in one of the ecosystem models here at the Seascape Modeling Laboratory. 

Also, incidentally, I am a crayfish.  I was plucked from the wild some time ago, and through untold dangers, I have made my way to this sanctuary.  The accomodations are exquisite, and my leisure time here has offered me the opportunity to document some of the more salient events of my biography.

Furthermore, I hope to engage you, esteemed reader, with some of the anecdotes from my life here, as the subject of an ecosystem model in this fine laboratory.  My life here, while lacking of the thrills of the wild, is replete with provocative day-to-day events and musings.

So I humbly invite you to peruse the pages of my life, even as I compose them.
