    Living at home at the moment, unfortunately.  Summers are like that.  Got
    the job on the paper by pure chance. . . wrote a letter to the editor of the
    section offering to do some pieces and she took a flyer on me.  It worked
    out well.  (I'm in a hurry, if this is sounding impersonal.  Sorry!)  I'm
    glad to hear that you and your family are doing so well. . . I think about
    you from time to time.  I'm also glad to hear that James is doing better,
    although I'm not wild about his means of doing it. . . a little unstable.
    I've been doing a LOT. . . talk to Peter (haven't really had a chance to
    talk to JT) if you want to find out some of it.  I realize you two aren't
    talking as much, but that's the price of my being busy, I guess. . . (That
    he's the one you'd have to talk to.)

    It was incredible to still see you around. . . you are immutable and
    irrefutable, and it is a pleasure to see your words.

     5:Petrisko made ALL the newspapers and local tv news a few months back.  He
     6:was the lead story.  It seems that he just had to cut down a Yucca Branch
     7:at 11th street and Van Buren because many people were worshipping it.  It,
     8:they said, resembled The Virgin Mary, he, he.  He now runs Gallery X which

    Is ready....   Now I am off to bed (I was up all last night finishing up a
    machine job)so I can deliver this VGA Computer system tomorrow  (maybe)!

    After setting up a 40 meg Seagate a few days ago, Ann's 42 meg Mini-Scribe
    seems sooooooo fast by comparison....  and quiet!   No more Seagates for me!

     I think you should keep a running check on Ann's computer, at least for the
    weekend. After all, you never know what might happen in the first couple of
    days. Monday sounds like a good delivery day to me. Unless, of course,
    that's too busy a day at the machine shop. Then, considering the fact that
    you'll probably need Tuesday to rest, Wednesday would be fine.

    I too was excited for Ann's new computer.  In fact, I went over to Cliff's
    house today to help him on his way to Ann's house - you know, setting it up
    and all that.

    Well, unfortunately, as Cliff and I were carrying it out the door, he
    stumbled and SMASH it went on the cement.

    Sorry, Ann.

            Of course your marriage will NEVER be in danger ...........
    that is what every married man will tell his wife.
            Haven't you heard some there logic they spew at their mate when they
    are caught with their 'pants down' with someone else?
            Like ---- "I love you dear wife of many years. I admire you and
    think only the best of you dear, darling woman of my children. That is why I
    am screwing around with this 'woman'. With what I am doing and all at the
    moment, I might hurt you and I love you too much for that."
            Like ---- "A man is entitled to have a hobby isn't he?"
            Like ---- "As long as I come back home to you, my dear, there is
    nothing to fear. My love for you is too strong. I will never leave you."

    Etc .......

            Don't forget all you users who are in on the 'Zagar Gift' are
    invited for a GT at my place.. to be held sometime on the last weekend of
    this month.   (Satuday night looks most likely)
            You will be able to see the StarShip and sign the card.... And of
    course...pay your share if you have not done so as of yet.  The end of this
    month is the deadline by the way.... (So I can get the plaque made with all
    our names on it)

            Anyone have a GOOD camera for the 8 x 10 color glossy of this group?

            I have a small grill, so lets get some hamburgers and hotdogs, and
    other assorted fixings for our Elite GT.   So how about 7pm for starters?
    (Last Saturday of this month)  I hope you ALL can make it...  Even if you
    are not part of the Zagar gift project.

            Smile, be happy and for God's sake, be at the GT!

    Quit picking on JT.  He's got enough problems to worry about already, I'm
    sure.  (You can't live in DC without having problems.)  Anyway, we all know
    how he was in "those days," and I'm sure he wants to forget it.  (Just
    kidding.)
