I just spent the last three hours working on typing the four page handwritten letter I had written to Summer way back in January.

The first thing that occurred I typed the entire first page without have this machine in WP mode.

Then I was so distracted I ran off the bottom on two other pages, and as I went to proof and print I decided it really is not all that good as written and just cleared the memory and a directly typing this note.

I realize it is Thursday and this will be the last chance to mail this week, but it just was not worth spending the ribbon on.

By the way, Tom has been receiving those travel brochures. I would have thought they would come from one central location but no, they do not. The funny part is that the staff ends up putting the brochure on the side to look at, and then calls Tom up later in the evening to pick up his mail.

They did confiscate one of the maps that came with the Sullivan county brochure to be sure he did not plan an escape!

I will continue to clear my head and get back to writing.

They claim they have fixed the air conditioner; it is cool in here now, but not the meat locker coolness it was. They still have several of the big fans on, and I am sitting working in a tee shirt. At least I am not sweating.

I did walk again this morning and did clean up the locker.

I sorted a weeks worth of clippings and managed to gather all the “to do” stuff into one convenient pile. Unfortunately, it has led to a slight sense of paralysis but I will nibble away at over the next three days and hopefully you will receive a nice large bunch typed stuff from me by next Wednesday.

It is almost count time and I am going to pack it in for the night.  ¶ 10:02 AM
