close toit's not that we're trying to make it hard for you,Oh I understand completely! Perhaps next year I'll be able to fly
mind, but rather that we've been trying to make it
easy for the Fords, who are close enough to twice
your age. Anyhow, there may well be another southern
picnic in the next couple years.

have been yelled at for "it's so cold outside that I think both of myex-wives
are in town". However, my first wife and I have reconciled and areactually
good friends now. She lives about four hours west of me near Nashvilleand
the poor thing is falling apart at the seams. She is in terrible health through no fault of her own and I feel sorry for her.
My second wife, on the other hand, is persona non grata in my life. Iwon't
go into details but unfortunately there's nothing left to salvage, noteven a
friendship.
-I- find it hilarious. Others, not so much. But as I tell people, I was married to them, you weren't.
(Note that I think marriage is wonderful. I just have bad taste in women evidently.)

I need to quit being lazy and doing mail on the Linux box. I can't getto MM
correctly this way. I should install MultiMail instead. Ugh.
A fun food fact about me: my mother and I share tastes in food that no one else shares in our family, specifically ginger snaps and licorice (thereal
thing). We also have a strong like for anything mint-related.
Another fun food fact: I am the only one in my entire extended familythat is
alive today that likes egg nog. I can make my stepfather leave the room simply by walking in with an open container of egg nog.

You may be unlucky and find it's not just a
one-time thing. Once tasted, always wanted,
that sort of idea.
A pity, as regular ham is nicer than deli ham unless
it's really great stuff such as we got at Ian and
Jacquie's. Hurray for the Sav-A-Lot, then.
In the current environment Rodney Dangerfield or
Jack Benny wouldn't have gotten far with their
schtick. I'm sort of sad there's little tolerance
for that kind of cruel humor, whereas the currently
popular kind of cruel humor is no better.
It's sad about the health stuff but good that it
brought you back in contact.
Eh, that's guessable. We won't guess, though.
My feeling about marriage is not altogether favorable.
I considered it a couple times, and it was considered
for me other times, but my record is so far perfect.
Give you something to keep you out of trouble.
Are all the others bland food people?
Is it the nutmeg? Can't be the booze, as yours is no
doubt nonalcoholic.

Oddly enough, I cannot stand eggs sunny side up. I either have to
have them well-done or scrambled (I usually prefer scrambled).
