Today this blessed day, your name was formed from my mouth twice, twice! in relations to you. Once, in conversation with Kim. she worked at Earthcore, lived in N Seattle, now goes to Evergreen. Second, with Jenna, Jenna.. her family name escapes me.. Jenna.. damn, well you probably know who I'm talking about maybe? She mentioned her thoughts of your possible interest that school. her exact words were "i always thought ross should go here." Anyway - cheers my brother for you have been spoken of with glee.

That article was great - thanks for posting it.
