Secret Identity

Here is a photo of me watching my client the Rocktopus and his band the Scallywags play in Madison. You can see my hand holding a beer in the lower left corner.

There is a beautiful and quite large fresh water fish tank at my work. I feed the fish and watch them play often. There are about a dozen, and they get along great.
Today I came in and they were all dead. Somehow the thermostat temperature was increased and they all boiled to death. This was tragic of course to me, and as I expressed my grief to my co-workers they remained unaffected. One said, "you must really have a lot of compassion for fish." To which I sunk my chin to my chest and mumbled "I do."
I wanted to explain why, besides the obvious compassion for life thing I live by. I wanted to explain that I feel for fish because I am the "Manager of Land Affairs for The Rocktopus." But that always raises more questions than it answers. In the past when I have said that, people say "What's a Rocktopus?" Or if someone who is familiar with the Rocktopus asks me about him and I explain my title, they want to know what a "manager of land affairs" does, but then they never seem satisfied with my answer.
That is why I try to keep my identity a secret. Kyle, regular guy, works on teeth, plays in bands. (and secretly a manger of land affairs for The Rocktopus)
