Haunted Library at Nashotah?

Yesterday, I had a strange experience. After I was done working in
admin, I went down to the library, in the lower level. As I walked
into the library, in the far door, I saw a black object. Upon looking
at it more, it was a black, hooded figure. I dismissed it as
tomfoolery and went my way. Later, Father Acker told me about the
legend of the Black Monk, but could not remember the details.

Here's the scoop about it:http://www3.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=270720

Now that I think about it, the apparition did look like a black Monk.
Sightings of the Black Monk have been reported throughout the campus.
No photos from me though, as I thought it was just tomfoolery..

tomorrow!

Friends Visiting!

A couple of friends of mine from out of town, Ralph and Hope paid me a visit in Oconomowoc!

We had dinner at Chili's, and as all three of us can attest, had a fantastic time at the Chili Ministry!

My desk at Nashotah!(Temporary)

For at least 2 hours today, this was my desk in the Administrative
building at Nashotah House! I worked on some reports, and I did some
filing! I'm thankful for the opportunity given to work in this side of
the seminary. Very interesting place, very pretty also.

Busy Day

Yesterday, I stayed at the hotel, while Greg went off to Nashotah. I
did my laundry, and I watched I, Robot. I took part in the Bravewriter
discussion about I, Robot, surfed the web, played guitar and walked
over to Pic N Save and got lunch. I had spicy chicken wings and root
beer. I then practiced my guitar, and hung out for the rest of the
day, then went to McDonald's when Greg came back.
