TheBursar sent us this e-mail with news of his impending return to Barli’s : )
Guess What??? I’m still alive, but have little money for Internet right now… fortunately, come about… ohh I’d say Thursday, that should change. I bought a computer, and will be getting net access in my room, so I can talk with all you wonderful people again. I love this place… Charleston… er… actually Goose Creek, SC is a great place.
BTW, did you guys check out the LOTR article and pics in the latest Entertainment Weekly ?? Whoa!!!! Wanna see the Balrog….. WANNA SEE THE BALROG!!!!
Anyway, make preparations for the triumphant Return of TheBursar, for I’m a-comin’ home!! And there was much rejoicing……(yay)
Your friend,
TheBursar!

The Hall of Fire is ready for debate! This time we hope to raise a little steam. Our topic:
How and why has no other author done what JRR Tolkien did?
Clearly biased of course… but perhaps Tolkien is not your favorite author and you have a barrage of arguments as to why some one else takes preference? Surely in the history of literature SOMEONE has outdone Professor Tolkien… or not?
Come tell us what you think on Saturday or Sunday, January 27 and 28. Times below.
Saturday Chat: 7:00 pm EST (19:00) [also midnight Saturday (24:00) GMT and 10:00 am Sunday (10:00) in Australia]
Sunday Chat: 7:00 pm (19:00) in Australia [also 9:00 am (09:00) GMT and 4:00 am (04:00) EST]
Sunday Chat: 6:00 pm (18:00) GMT [also 1:00 pm (13:00) EST and 4:00 am (04:00)Monday morning in Australia]

I just got this letter today and am posting it for all the bursar watchers’ pleasure, lol : )
12-31-00
Hey all you Barlimaniacs!
It is I, your long lost comrade, TheBursar! I apologize for my long silence, but things have been EXTREMELY busy. I am the bearer of good tidings, however. This is the last week! On Jan. 5, I pass-in-review, or graduate. My mom decided to come up, so I’m happy.
I had liberty Christmas Day so I went to the movie theater. I saw ‘Castaway’. Wow. Pretty good. No LoTR trailer though. Saw previews for Pearl Harbor and D&D. Must… see… D&D… Need… Fantasy… Fix…
Enclosed is that so longed for picture of me in uniform; I hope you all like it. That’s my Dress Blue uniform… I look better in my working blues. One day I’ll send a picture of that.
In two weeks I’ll be in Charleston. Yay! But in the immediate future, tomorrow night is BattleStations, an all night event that tests EVERYTHING I have learned. I’ll have fun.
My next letter will probably be from Charleston. I miss y’all and will be back on-line soon. Promise!
From tropical (HA!) Great Lakes,
TheBursar
