Make it 5 open. I'm currently sitting here at work from 12am-8am on an hour of sleep since 6am Friday... not going to make it. I wish I had more warning to give you :(

Mike,

We have to start at 10:40am. Go to the info desk and have Matt Wandell paged so someone can get you.

Good seeing you and your fish E (don't forget to frame that Coral mag). ;)
Hopefully the tour can be an annual event.

What a great tour. Only problem, after seeing the reef from above my wife wants to turn our pond into a reef! This might be a new episode on 'Tanked' :(
