Dear [Lynn],
Yep. I’m still here, just finishing up. Slow day today. Lots of reading.
Hope you have lots of fun with the kiddies.
Nothing planned for the weekend, except, preparing for your arrival. Have to dust, do laundry, Etc. So you have a clean bed to sleep in. 
Talk to you later.
Tom
Dear [Lynn],
Oh. So you mean that when you blonds act dumb, as frequently as you do, you’re actually just pretending to be that way to avoid bruising the rest of our egos? Yea, right. *Rumble, boom*
So when you’re at the Land Trust, are you using Eudora or some other mailer?
Alright on the attorney. The ball is rolling. Boy, just imagine when Carl gets notice that you want to re negotiate the visitation part of the divorce agreement. He’ll be steaming. Fireworks. Or, perhaps he’ll just say, “Ba ba ba ba ba ba.”
Later.
Tom
Dear Lynn,
Well, I don’t know if I’d buy “whole” items there like washers/dryers, and furniture. They seem like they would not provide all that much customer support if one has a problem with these things. But for supplies like wire, plumbing pieces, paints, chemicals, tools, roofing, and flooring, the Lowe’s here has good quality stuff in my experience, at decent prices. I think Mom bought the new bathroom wall paper and flooring at Lowe’s, and it looks okay.
Later.

Dear [Lynn],
On arranging some warm quality time together: No problem. I’ll handle it.
All dark, gray, and rainy today but it’s warm again. 60-ish.
Yep, blonds make the rest of us look sooo good. *pressed the plunger, now awaiting the explosion* 
On [your daughter]: Geeze, what a surprise. You had written her off as never coming up there for any long term stay. You must be very pleased.
Outgoing? You seem outgoing enough for me. But perhaps we can talk more about it over the weekend.
More later.
Tom
