Hi Kid!

I've been wondering where you were. I will email you the correct phon number. My home phone is not hooked up yet and the only email addresses that work are the Yahoo address and my work address. I will email all of those to you too. Look for the message.

Dad

As for the rest of you...

Yes, Charley, the end of the fiscal year is upon us. It is a time of high stress, unhappy people demanding too much from too few, with too little to compensate them for the reduced life style and time off. Life's a bitch in September. I can't wait to retire so I can finally enjoy what used to be my favorite month of the year.

As you enjoy that fair, Barb, please take a few moments to think of me here in a land without country fairs. I love them, wandering the grounds every year looking at the animals and displays of farm produce. There is an excited bustle in the fairway while the horse and tractor pulls add their own sound and smell.

Sandra, they are now downsizing again, leaving us with even fewer people. Only four years till retirement....
