SUBJECT: Nuts
My mom used to roast nuts in the winter – pecans, walnuts and my very favorite, filberts (that’s what she always called hazelnuts) – She would place a bowl of them on the coffee table in the living room for us to eat.
In that tradition, I bought a small mixed bag of nuts at the grocery store on Sunday, roasted them and placed them on my coffee table in a wooden bowl.
Time to get crackin’…
“All of us are born with a set of instinctive fears - of falling, of the dark, of lobsters, of falling on lobsters in the dark, or speaking before a Rotary Club, and of the words "Some Assembly Required”

SUBJECT: Hardware for MonkeyBoy’s birthday present
I found out yesterday that I will be having some hardware installed in my body on Friday – yes, I did such a good job of breaking my wrist that I won the prize of a titanium metal plate, which will be inserted into my wrist. Can you hear the studio audience applauding wildly? Sigh. Well, I guess things could be worse – it could have been needed in my head. ~*~*~ MB picked out his 12th birthday present (the big day is on Saturday) this afternoon with his dad…a home gym. They are bonding by assembling it over the next couple of days. It has a lot of pieces.
