Things are going fine. Packing for the Philly trip this weekend. I gained ½ pound at your place this time. Have already lost it.
Later.

Diet
Tuesday, August 15th, 2000Dear sister Joann,
Congrats on the diet. Yes, reducing the carbos, especially the refined ones, really does seem to stabilize the mood. Good luck.
[Lynn] says “Hi” back and wishes everyone there well.
Thanks for writing back. We’ll see you this weekend sometime.

Maine Trip Update
Tuesday, August 15th, 2000Dear sister Mary Ann,
Yes, Mom has been keeping me apprized of your situation. Hope you’re feeling better, and best wishes for a successful delivery in a couple weeks. The name you’re thinking about for the new baby is very pretty.
[Lynn] is at work and I’m here by myself, catching up on my email. A gray, foggy day here. Lots of days are like that, being so close to the ocean and all.
Well, take care. Talk to you when I return at some point. 
Later.
Tom
Checking In
Tuesday, August 15th, 2000Dear [Lynn],
Hey you. Did you get home okay? How’d [your trip] go?

Hello from Maine!
Monday, August 14th, 2000Dear Family,
Hello down there!!! Having a great time. The trip up was uneventful. Mom drove me to Martinsburg Friday morning @ around 7:20 AM. The flight left @ 9:14 AM, arrived @ Pittsburgh @ 10:30 AM, left Pittsburgh @ 11:30 AM, arrived in Portland, ME @ 1:01 PM, left Portland @ 2:45 PM, arrived @ Rockland, ME @ 4:20 PM, left Rockland, ME on the ferry @ 4:30 PM, and arrived @ Vinalhaven (island), ME @ 5:45 PM. Made for a long day, but a good one just the same. Weather was very sunny and crisp.
We’ve been taking hikes, watching movies, cooking lobster, working on her computer (which I am on right now with the portable hard drive I was telling you about, hooked up to it), meeting some of her family and friends, and enjoying each other’s company. It’s good to be here.
Well, say hi to the family for me. I will be home Friday evening. Mom is picking me up at Martinsburg @ around 6:00 PM.
Take care, and we’ll see you sometime this weekend.
PS: I had planned to do some work this week for [my employer]. But I really need to be on vacation, completely disconnected from the workplace, except for personal email, of course.

Next Maine Trip Preps
Thursday, August 10th, 2000Dear [Lynn],
Just confirmed the limo service for tomorrow at the Portland airport. We’re in business. Packing is about 7/8 done. It’s exciting.
I’ll probably be on the porch reading the rest of the afternoon. So don’t worry about not IM-ing me. We’ll chat later on. Will call you around 8:00.
Talk to you then.
Tom
Call You Tonight?
Wednesday, August 9th, 2000Dear [Lynn],
Shall I call you at 8:00, or should I just wait until you finish up with your dinner guests and you to call me?

MS Windows NT Exam in Sept.
Wednesday, August 9th, 2000Dear [Lynn],
I’m scheduled for the Microsoft Windows NT exam on 9/5/2000, the day I return from Philly. So, while I’m at your place, if I don’t work, I’ll be studying.
Sorry to hear about your soggy day, again. Never fun, is it.
Packing is underway. Should have the formative portion of that done this evening. It’s so exciting. ! ! !
Talk to you later.
Tom
