Good morning kid! 
Talked with Sis! They went to Hobbiton! New Zealand is so nifty. 
Have a superb Sunday!
10:19 AM Phil
Never been to New Zealand. Australia but not there. Cool! 
Enjoy the pretty day. Heading into DC for a comedy show

1:26 PM Sassy
Wow! Somewhere you have never been! 
They had a whirlwind day – history museum and city tour of Auckland, glow worm caverns [like Howe Caverns with odd fluorescent creatures), jumped off the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere and then the tour and dinner at Hobbiton! They’re there for 4 weeks and trying to see it all!
Hope you have lots of laughs!

Ah, yes, the cats. You’d have to call an ambulance!

Back from NH. Love the state, should have been planted there, somewhere on the south border.
Do you enjoy classical music? Have had a very intense week (very intense 10 years, in fact!), and was fidgety/really depressed tonight, unable to take solace even in music (pop culture music). Have been listening to Beethoven’s 6th for the past half hour, and it’s as if I took a sedative.
It must be the divinity of mathematics, which is at the essence of music.
Peace,
G

Hey Sassy. I wish I were there:)

In NH for a couple of days then DC next week. Strange deal. Not making money in either place, but hoping to plant some seeds.

Hope you’re having fun.

Re: Shy and retiring

Hiya G! Hope you’re staying cool on this humid evening.

I went to Brookline for a birthday party tonight and thought of you as I was stuck in traffic. What a mess it is over there with the BU Bridge work glomming up every road! Wish I could stay on this side of the river!

It is lovely to indulge in the fantasy of you being here. We’d have fun! But if I remember correctly, my cats make it unwise in reality!

My my… you do get around! Hope you have easy travels.
