Two Old-Timers Share a Moment

On a visit to Boston, I spent a day at the local aquarium, and had the time of my life. Its biggest and best feature is the ocean tank, three stories tall and full of fish and other sea life that mostly ignores each other. The tank is surrounded by a ramp that spirals to the top and back down, and two critters made a point of swimming over to check me out. Myrtle here has been at the aquarium for more than 55 years; we made eye contact from across the tank and she gracefully glided over for a photo op.
