We have had some fun times this year, you have been a teacher, a leader, and my friend. I know we share a common interest in Powdermilk Biscuits, so this would be the perfect place to say goodbye, before we part ways this August. Until Monday!

To: All Time Travellers
Just following instructions to help the time traveller convention which was, or, will be, held on May seventh, 2005, at MIT, by hiding the information where someone in the future might read it and hurry back with proof they have travelled from the future. If you don't have proof, don't bother to start your time machine, so they say, but if you do, the special presentation will be at 10:00 p.m. For details go to the timetravellerconvention dot com, or something like that or to M.I.T., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The time travel webmaster claims the convention is, was, or will be, a success.
