Fortunately, I seem doomed to be lost in Minnesota, looking for Cho's cornfield.

Unfortunately, being lost in Minnesota while searching for a specific cornfield doesn't seem very "fortunate" to me.

Fortunately, "get lost" sometimes means "get some time for yourself."

Unfortunately (for you), you will be right close to me! North(corn)field is just north of Faribault which is just northwest of West Corncob, which is the location of my cornfield.
When will you be here?
Maybe we can meet for a hug or a cup of coffee or something!

Fortunately for this landlubber, it's my granddaughter's graduation (St. Olaf's) so I'll be all bound up in family stuff — like loading her car and our van of 4 years of accumulated college stuff; I fear there'll be no time to meet. But if I can get the van to fly over your cornfield, I'll drop the necessary whap.

Fortunately for you, the van refuses to fly; therefore my bunker destroying whaps are useless.

Unfortunately, I'm never alone; there are three cats who alternate between putting me to sleep, then waking me up so they can get between me and what I'm trying to achieve.

Fortunately, all you need to stop them is a bag, a couple of bricks, and a deep lake.

Fortunately (for them), I've been their slave for upwards of 15 years, so they're safe with me.

Unfortunately, sleep may become addictive and then HB will get nothing done.
