1. For unto us was sent this week an email, which sayeth:
"Dear Preston,
We are delighted to offer you a place on the Tyndall National Institute
FASTNET UREKA Site for Summer 2010, ...from Monday 14 June to Friday 27
August."
2. And it came to pass that the Tyndall National Institute was located in a city called Cork in the country of Ireland. And lo, when these things were made known, the queen of the land was freakingeth out, and her husband the king also.
3. And, behold, there was much rejoicing in the land, for the people had long hoped for such an opportunity, their faith being strong that their cries unto heaven might be heard. For they had cried mightily all the day long for the space of many days.
4. Nevertheless, it came to pass that the people were much surprised that this thing had come about and they pondered these things in their hearts.
5. But lo, the heart of the queen was much honored that the king should be offered such a position, but neither did she desire that the king should go away and leave her for the space of many days, even unto two months and a half. And the king did desire that she should be happy, but he also desireth that this thing should be accomplished.
6. And it came to pass that this opportunity was too good for the people to pass up and they did rejoice exceedingly and did accept the offer which had been given them.
7. And so it came to pass that the people did begin to make preparations for this marvelous journey to the city of Cork in the country of Ireland. And they did praise the heavens all the day long that such a thing should come to pass.
