Linn and Tom-

Just the news I wanted to hear. Staging the Great Escape from the hospital is one of those wonderful occasions that you're sure to remember. But do not neglect to unplug everything attached to Tom BEFORE exiting his room. And he's still probably gonna find it painful to cough, sneeze, or laugh for a few more weeks.

We'll look forward to seeing you both at the next Press Room shanty swap, which according to my calendar falls on Saturday, May 15th.

I do hope you figured out how to use the MP3 player, and its many intricate tiny accessories. When you figure out how it works, it's really great. When you don't, it's really frustrating.

Welcome home!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble & Judy B.
