Testing 1, 2, 3.
Hi there. Had fun bowling today and making new friends … always a joy.
Hope I got your address right.
I won’t be around to sub on Saturdays any more this year. Next bowling day will be Jan. 15th, 2000. Lots of Y2K issues (and vacation) to resolve in the meantime. So, perhaps we’ll bowl together again then.
Take care, and happy holidays to you.
Later.
Hi [Lynn].
The temperature went into the upper 60s today here in Philly. Sunny in the morning, but clouds in the afternoon.
Just got back from bowling. Scored a 110, 153, and a 105, for an average today of 122.6666… A couple pins over my yearly average today. Switched to my 16 Lb. ball and took my own bowling shoes today. This Made a marked difference.
Found a Y2K related problem in a portion of our software yesterday. We have a theoretical workaround, but must test this short term solution further. I hope it works long enough to get us through the millennium change. Then, we’ll apply a long term fix, sometime in January.
What is “an ig dump run?” 
Besides, you’re supposed to be on vacation. What in the world are you doing hauling stuff around during your break? Probably just being nice – your nature. Big hearted and all.
Missed talking to you also. Oh well. We have to get used to periods like this. When I go to the winter camp in early December, we’ll have to endure another period of phone silence for three days. But then, the following weekend, we’ll be visiting in person. What a Christmas treat that will be. You’re not Mrs. Clause by chance, are you?
I Never read ‘The Road Not Taken’, but did read, ‘The Road Less Traveled’ by M. Scott Peck. Does that count? At any rate, sounds like a book worth reading.
Well, gotta go too. Take care and be careful while you’re traveling. Can’t wait until we talk live again.
See ya,
Tom Hesley
