(new computer and DSL) "You mean you dragged me over here just to meet Nancy Chalmers?" This is actually about Robin, so she says: got perfume instead of football for Xmas from Granpa - started to cry, so they dug under tree to get football. "chose not to study or do homework" - School too crowded, mornings off, fooling around at Crane's farm, NCH would look at the sun and say "it's time to go" Nancy was fun to visit in Minnesota - Kathleen. (**) Hurricane of '38, don't bend down to touch anything or we will shoot you. Miss Fleming "I'm four and a half, but I'm almost five" Your missing sock is under the right side of your bureau. A round of golf in the moring, swim and lunch at the beach, a second round of golf, then shop for the family, cook for the family, bridge after dinner and then continue working on "The Bridge Game" making fun of the H'bergh/Nichols/Dethier overachievers. If we dabble some water in our eyes we'll stay awake. traded dishwashing for doing KCN's math homework with KCN * started to take piano lessons with Arthur Lloyd, stopped * - stop that terrible noise - "I'm having a lesson" 15-OCT-2000, jch, with help from nch, Robin, kcn, cmh4, nnh, mlh, ach*, and Reid!
