Beowulf is just still moved by the love note he found. 

I had a great time    Although I am staying away from seafood restaurants for a while so no-one tries to serve me as a lobster meal.    Is anyone else wishing they had used a stronger sunscreen.  OUCH.

We're supposed to be in the citizen or the Sun, some dudes with cameras took some pictures.  I tried to explain to the photographer who we were, OVAS, yes, O V A S, that's Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society.  Aquarium...A Q U A R I U M.  You know, we keep fish.
It will be interesting to see how that ends up in the papers.

I thought I was pretty burnt but I seem fine, thankfully!

Yeah, if anyone sees us in the paper please let us know, I don't normally read either one!

Nothing in the Citizen that I saw and in the little rag 24 hours they had an article on it and a big picture on the front page but no mention of OVAS mostly just the tall blond and the brunette that were there.  Any of the other papers have something?
