Now, again, I am despondent - did you give the right URL? - but (sighs of hope) maybe it's not me! Maybe Holidaze Weekend or Sun Spots or no-brain reruns of "The Apprentice" are the culprit!

One time I ran for class student counsel and voted for the other guy! Is this a pattern destined to repeat itself over and over and over! Is this the cycle of karma as rendered by the Tibetian Book of the Dead?

Is there no hope for our unsung hero - stay tuned till next week folks!
