And now for something completely different
In news that may or may not ruin your entire week, I must regretfully inform all the loyal fans of the Expatriate Act (what do you call yourselves? Expatramaniacs?) that your regularly-scheduled author of this fine web journal could not be with you this week. In his absence, you are reading the smooth sound-stylings of his equally-talented twin brother, Kelly (you can call me Al), as I will be filling in for him, just this one time.
I'm doing this because Rik (that's what I call him, cuz I don't trust people with two vowels in their names) is currently on vacation in Medora. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't actually know that he's on vacation in Medora. But, that's a whole different story.
Well, it goes like this: The real story is that Rik's girlfriend Jessy has to trick my simple-minded brother out of the house every once in awhile. So, thanks to a map written in blue ink on a sheet of college-ruled paper he found buried under all the garbage in the backseat of his VW Bug (or, as I call it, the Geek-mobile), Rik is currently riding horseback through the Badlands of our great state, looking for treasure buried there by ghost pirates.
While we're on the subject, I'd like to send a shout-out to Jessy on behalf of the entire Hagen clan. If it weren't for you, we'd never get that kid off the couch. You're a gift from God.
Anyway, he sent me the keys to his kingdom (aka, his username and password) so that I could just jump on here and let you know he's okay. Well, as okay as a kid can be while believing that ghost pirates left a treasure map in the backseat of his car. But, as soon as he figures out that ghost pirates can't draw maps, since they can't hold pens in their apparitional fingers, he'll be back here writing his fun-filled rants on stuffed animals and his favorite television shows. Just you wait and see.
