A couple bachelors

Well Jenn is in Pettawawa working at a small animal clinic and Cooper and I are on our own for the next three months. So far she seems to be enjoying the new job but I'll let her tell you more about that.

As for me, my trip to Bar Harbour Maine was fabulous. We had rain on the way in and on the way out but it was otherwise a beautiful week. I managed to fit lots of tourist activities into my time there. I climbed Mount Cadillac, went swimming at Sand Cove, hiked the Ocean Trail and around Jacob's Pond and enjoyed a couple fabulous lobster dinners. I did manage to fit a little work into my time there, however. We (hopefully) have managed to initiate several cod and Atlantic salmon fish cell lines that I will be nursing over the year. Here is a video of an elasmobranch tank (sharks, skates and rays) I took at the marine station:

Other than that it is life as usual. Now that I live closer campus I take the bus and have been able to join a few extracurricular activities such as tae-kwon-doe. While I liked our last apartment I won't miss having to plow through massive snow drifts to reach Waterloo.
