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..

My desk at Nashotah!(Temporary)
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.

Spamwise Gamgee
After we checked out the Rivoli Theater in Albert Lea which my great grandfather built for my great grandmother, we stopped at the Hormel Spam Museum just outside town. There I met my friends Steven and Tyler. The Three Musketeers, or Merry, Pippin and Spamwise Gamgee, met again. It was great to see friends, but all too soon we were off!

GPS right, Greg wrong
Greg ignored GPS instructions and goofed. He is now following the GPS's instruction.
