Fort Knox chronicles the life of a military family: Dad, Major Joe Knox; Mom, Jane Knox; and their two boys, Donald and Wesley. The family has picked up and moved — again — thousands of miles from family and friends to take up residence at Joe's new assignment at Fort Lincoln. Donald and Wesley have moved before, but that doesn't make it any easier on them. They must face down new bullies, master a new school system and new teachers, and navigate a new community. Added to these pressures is the distance the move puts between them and their beloved grandmother, who's a known troublemaker if not a known felon (yet). On top of all that, there's the strain that military life puts on their parents' otherwise happy marriage.

Really. Or just buy another goldfish; they can’t be that expensive, even by today’s standards. A few years ago they found a huge orange carp in a reservoir not far from here. Turns out to have been a goldfish that was let out into the wild, where basically it grew to the size its environment allowed. In this case, about a six-fold expansion from about a two-inch goldfish to about a foot-long carp. And after all, goldfish are in the carp family.

If the fish dies on Joe it’s still the best of a bad situation, if it dies on Wesley the therapy bills will bankrupt the family.

If that bitch was my wife I think I’d prefer sleeping on the couch.
