Twig Log 2002 This web page chronicles the year of Mark Terwilliger (twig). Surely one page cannot capture all of the amazing and extraordinary activites of his life. Only the highlights have been recorded here. |

Twig was notified by an immediate member of his family that the pipes connecting his kitchen sink were leaking water profusely. | |

 After 11 and 1/2 years at LSSU, Twig gets a new faculty ID
card. Before obtaining the new ID card, though, Twig had to report to the
Human Resource office to verify that he was an LSSU employee. Twig is
later notified that this card allows him to check out library books, get
discounts at the Campus Shoppe, and operate large farming equipment. | |
|
1/19/2002 |
Twig goes to Parker's True Value Hardware and gets some replacement pipes for the kitchen sink. The guy helping him (Twig believes his name was Alan or Bob or something like that) was extremely helpful. | |
|
1/21/2002 |
 The Pittsburgh Steelers gain momentum by beating the
Baltimore Ravens 27-10 in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. After over 30
painful years as a Detroit Lions fan, Twig decides to jump on the
bandwagon of the happening Steelers (Terrible Towel compliments of Jerry
Stephens). | |
|
1/27/2002 |
The New England Patriots defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-17 in the AFC Championship game. Twig jumps off of the Steeler bandwagon. Twig sells his Terrible Towel on eBay for $1.25 (plus $14.95 shipping and handling). | |
|
2/10/2002 |
 Twig replaces faulty kitchen sink pipes. To his surprise,
they actually work without leaking now. | |
|

Twig makes a major purchase on Ebay. For only $10.00, you will simply be amazed at this remarkable bargain. | |
|

Twig's city league basketball team wraps up second place in the Sault Ste. Marie Men's League. The team, sponsored by "Pickford O'Connors Chrysler Plymouth Dodge - Dodge Trucks and Jeeps" (that was tough to fit on our jerseys), finished the regular season with an 11-3 record. For stats and video highlights, visit NBA.com or ESPN. | |

arrival, you can tell from the picture, those days are over. | |
|
6/25/2002 |
 The innovative and intense goldfish-training program created
by Twig himself now enters its seventh month. In less than a half year, Twig's
goldfish have already mastered the commands "swim", "eat", "up", "down", and
"stay", among others. Even more remarkable than learning these tricks, the fish
are actually still alive. Do NOT try this yourself. Twig is a trained professional. | |

more details.

 Adam and Luke make their fishing debut. Although the actual fish caught were too large to appear on this web site, feel free to check out the fishermen in action. By the way, Twig promised the boys two years ago that they couldn't go fishing until they learned how to swim. When Luke swam a lap by himself this summer, he promptly said, "You have to take us fishing now." | |
|

 Twig hosts a barbeque for LSSU Mathematics and Computer Science faculty. In addition to welcoming new faculty (George Voutsadakis and Scott Lewis), a special recognition was made to Evan Schemm for the completion of his PhD requirements. The BBQ is an event that Twig hosts every palindromic year (the year reads the same backwards as it does forwards - 2002). Twig is already planning for his next barbeque (tentatively scheduled for August 23, 2112). | |
