From Shoal Lake, Manitoba

"Yarrrrrrr...

"The sea blows and the rain pours. The crew grows restless as they cannot work or drink their grog. Our precious cargo of data & pictures are being moved from our trust boat 'The HMS Laptop' to port, so I have some time in this land of Shoal Lake to write my dear love.

"(If you haven't realized, International Talk Like A Pirate Day has come and gone.)

"I fought the dreaded Englishman 'Nak', and he sailed away to the port of 'Gladstone' to right the wrongs I's made.

"I miss you so; I have included a few port cards. (The other post card I sent may not arrive as I messed up the address.)

"Isn't letter writing fun?

"I bought a new belt...what else. Did I mention I miss you? The lake here smells...A lot. Like poop. It sucks. I took a walk and nearly died.

"How are things? School going well? Art stuff?

"Love you,
K. Hartley.

"P.S

Butts."

Probably the best love letter ever. Keith is in the field right now until October 12th, moving from Shoal Lake to Birtle, MB in a few days. (....where the hell is Birtle?) I miss his face like a person who has a penchant for faces. I am also writing a little bit. We will see where that leads!

In the meantime, look at all those paintings I have up! BWAHHH!!
