| OK, OK, I haven't been on the forum in a looong time and I've missed the folks I'm proud to call friends. I apologize for being out of touch. Number of reasons for the absence including a move to Fort Walton Beach and finally a move back to Pace (long story that's not all happy), but on the up side I have finally collected all of my red snapper barotrauma and venting data, run all but one of my statistical tests, and am finally making the first of my Big Presentations. I'm in Ottawa, Canada, at the annual American Fisheries Society meeting and will be here through Friday. I've spent 4 years on this project as some of y'all already know, and this is the first public release of what I've found. As the trip progresses I'll share details..... I find it amazing how small of a world we live in. I boarded the plane this morning, eye-crackingly early for a 5:45am departure. I knew it would be a great trip when, as soon as I stepped onto the plane I hear a familiar "HEY!!" Lo and behold, on that same flight was Bob... aka Stressless. I never thought I'd get to hang out with one of my friends from PFF on a plane layover in Atlanta.  I'm staying at the Westin Ottawa, walking distance from some really cool open-air pubs, and the Parliament building where I'm hoping to see the changing of the guard. Today's activities were minimal- I set up my display poster and we had a big welcome social. With over 1000 people here it's hard to meet all of the other fish folks, but I sure as heck hope I meet as many as I can. Couple of quick photos from today- The view from my room:  What a gorgeous night- full moon from my room! 
Tomorrow is the start of all of the talks and my first opportunity to share red snapper data. I have a summary of my results which I will post once the conference winds down. Glad to be back on the PFF and I will post more from Canada before I leave.......

| It's strange, my granddaughter just asked me the other day had I seen more of your postings, and photos like those that you did about a year or os ago while on the research ship that was in the Pensacola area. We saw the ship while out fishing on a Saturday and later read your post and the saw the photos of what ya'll came across in the intercoastal. You made a very good impression on her. Since she's only 8 yrs old, I'll leave the pub and beer parts out but tell her your back. Looking to hear more from you, and thanks for sharing what you have done and are doing. Welcome back.
