Hello everyone. This is my last week at Stanford for the summer. I will soon head home for I few weeks before I return for staff training. In recent news, my research has finally turned up some results, but in doing so it has raised only questions andprovided no answers. My cousin was here this weekend, which was a nice change of pace. We toured SF on saturday and walked through the redwoods of Big Basin on Sunday. Jenna was kind enough to allow us to join in her birthday festivities. Thank you, and I am sorry. It was clear that most of you thought he was obnoxious rather than entertaining. I appreciate both your tolerance and your charity.

On a different note, I want to apologize to all of you whom I have offend in my poor attempts at humor. For all the disparaging remarks and the cultural, racial, religious, and regional jokes, I am deeply sorry. My sins are all the greater for having forgotten them. I have only recently come to understand the effect such seemingly inocuous comments can have.

I hope you all are well,
--Will
