Apology to Chadley Kuyper

Dear Mr. Kuyper:

Please accept my sincerest apologies for misrepresenting you in my blog. The pictures, without explanation, make you out to look like a complete lush at the New Years festivities. Had the camera been pointed at me at the moment these were taken, you would have found me leaning over the kitchen sink feebly trying to keep from losing my cookies (and wild rice soup). It is in neither of our natures to debauch my friend, but we were sabotaged. I hope that these pictures in no way detrimentally influence anyone's opinion of your character, which has from the first been only ever honorable, trustworthy, and responsible (with a little speedbird thrown in there).

Yours in mortification for any harm I may have caused,

Speardane

Sorry About the Last Blog

Well folks, my brother (who happens to be a computer wiz and who shames me with his brilliance) fixed my computer, doing for free what the Geek Squad was going to charge me over three hundred dollars to do - thanks, Pete, for saving me some dinero.

I'm sitting at the University of St. Thomas library in St. Paul typing this blog (which is far better than sitting in the smoky internet cafe on Snelling, having to listen to psycho next to me hack up his innards.

I'm so glad you all have been keeping up with your blogs so I can keep in touch with what's happening with y'all (as we say in Oklahoma). As far as blogs go, I want to apologize for the rather sad (in either sense of the word) last posting - I was in a funk that I've since gotten out of. It's hard to stay in a funky state when your five year old nephew keeps throwing a ball at you and shouting "sushi!"

Also, after what's been going on in Asia and East Africa over the past few days,



I've been counting my blessings.
