INCOMPETENT MAILMAN! None of your letters got through again today! I may move to another country!

I saved all the photos from the Pines Website. Notice that you are cool
with shades on. <g>

Busy day with SW Bell here all day trying to find the problem with DSL.
Drywall man came by and finished up your hallway and my bath. Just need
painting to finish that off!

Probably won't get your surprise poster since it was sent by mail the same
as your letters. <g>

Well, I know you got the brownies, but don't know if the cookies are still
in a pile of boxes in the office like last year.

Just for the record, I sent two batches of cookies and two batches of
brownies and everything but the second brownies should be there tomorrow or
the next days. I lost track of the cards I sent you, but it was a bunch.

Now for the routine news. The army dug out the flying saucer, and I'm
thinking about putting in an Olympic Sized Pool, but eighty-five feet deep.
I'll mortgage the house to pay the water bill.

The heat melted the neighbor's Honda According to the Insight in the
Prelude section of The Daily Civic. A Toyota owner took a photo of it with
his Camry.

Fox is shooting an episode of the X Files across the street this weekend.
I may be an extra. A REAL extra. They plan to leave me out completely. It
was inspired by the saucer crashing in our back yard, but since it's gone
they decided to build one in the vacant lot. Then they decided the vacant
lot wasn't big enough, and tore down three houses. Those people are living
in our garage. I wouldn't let them in since I don't trust homeless people.
I did let them use some of the empty boxes and a marker to make signs,
though. Naturally, I'm charging them 50% of their daily earnings. You can
be proud of your Dad, the business man!

Oh, and I've asked Gillian Anderson to move into your room while they are
filming, but I think there is a very good chance that she won't. I just
wanted her to sign your lamp shade.

Finally, they're building a new football stadium for the Denver Broncos, and
I'm hoping to get the "Jumbotron" Sony from the old stadium to put in your
second room. You may have to watch from outside since it will only fit
diagonally.

That's it for today. I hope tomorrow will bring something more interesting
to tell you. I know you are having a fantastic time, and I am anxious to
hear the details!

Love you! Miss You!!!
