Dear Spaw,

True, I haven't been keeping up with the threads enough to notice how sharp Bugsy is, or, no doubt, a whole lot of other stuff. That is because my computer is SLOWER THAN SLUDGE, which I find much grosser than anything of yours that I've ever read!!! I do intend to part with sufficient filthy lucre to get a faster one pretty soon. That's a fairly radical thing for me to do, considering I'm unemployed. It's necessary for my sanity, I think, considering winter is coming, and I'll no longer be able to go out and putter in the garden for amusement. But perhaps I delude myself-maybe my sanity is so far gone, nothing will ever bring it back? Ah, well....
