Typos in The Times? It is 4:00 PM and I just had dinner. Vinnie, my goomba friend, gave me his four-ounce chocolate ice cream, so I had two desserts. Screw the cholesterol!

I got the Booker case today in the mail. THANK YOU! The stamps were pen-marked cancelled and it had no bar code. I like the 37¢ "basket" stamp you used.

I will have to slowly read and digest the case. But like all law, the first paragraph reads like it would be good for me, but judges will always find another case that says "Sorry, no soup for you!" You gotta love the law!

I have spent most of today working through my NY Times. Good, so much information. I am still reading Sunday's Times, now working on the business section. I received Wednesday's today, so it looks like I will be one day behind. I will see what I get this Monday.

It is so cool to find some typos while reading. One I think is not even a word. In a story on nannies in Sunday's paper, it says, "the evening when a nanny dandled one family's child, I assume it should be 'handled'? (Editor's note: 'dandled means to move (as a baby) up and down in one's arms or on one's knee in affectionate play).

The other was a story on Julliard College's Saturday school. "Ms. Job said she recently bought Alli a $14,000 bass violin, which he said was on the lower end of the price scale." The previous sentence states "Gail Job, whose daughter". So if is mother and daughter, who is 'he'?

Yeah, I know my letters are full of errors, but as we have discussed, there is a place for a separate editor after someone writes a piece.

So, I am going to spend the next couple of hours writing to you and if I run out of steam, I will go back to the NY Times. Tonight's Rec activity is going to be learning Pinochle.  ¶ 11:04 AM
