We still<\/em> need one more week before we begin our archive show-and-tell. Sorry. We were torn between writing one or two bonus CUBlog<\/span><\/strong> posts this week and didn\u2019t finish any of it, so the Calendar<\/strong> got the short end of the stick. Therefore, as a from-the-hip aside to keep everyone guessing what we have in store, let’s give you another preview starring the closest thing we have to a literal stick figure. This handmade Fighting Guy<\/strong> with (cocktail!) sword was entrusted to Ye Ed<\/strong> many moons ago by our friend and former Urbana<\/strong> resident, John May<\/strong>. We will come back around to them later in the photo sequence and, if you don\u2019t already know why we\u2019re including them, you will soon find out. It\u2019s high time to weekend, don\u2019t you think?
