I guess we'll find that out within a few months. Canada Day was fun here with the usual bonfire and polar dip. They also had a kite flying contest that Vimy won- we definitely conquered the "how well can it actually fly" category since our kite was red balloons filled with helium! So, maybe we don't know the definition of a kite, but at least it won. The rest of the weekend was busy with the regular mug-ins and events. They served us lobster on Friday night, which was an awesome treat. Brad should be arriving this week, so I'm actually moving out of my room the next few days. That's a weird feeling, but I guess I am on the home stretch. Frank left on Thursday and it does feel weird without him, but I'm looking forward to showing up in Guelph and embarassing him. Just like old times. haha. Well, that's it and I hope everyone had a great Canada Day! Hope all is well in Downsview, Maria Maria Vavro GAW Lab Operator
