"In the Mudcat Attic Dorm, of course, right here at our house. We'll have to put in a lift!"

Reminds me of a conversation we were having one year at Rivendell Housing Co-op where I resided for years in Lansing, Michigan. We were talking about how to retrofit the house for we elders and one of our members suggested a lift, a large basket with a block an' tackle to run it up, powered with appropriate shanties. Well, the discussion soon degenerated into the specifics of the "basket case" or "basket cases" that would be hauled up. Most of the older residents subsequently moved out and the last Thanksmas card I received evidenced that there were actually parents with children living there now. I do send them periodic CD's and hope that they are appropriately amused.

If you're in Lansing, for a good time stop at 731 W. Genesee St. and then send a full report.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
