How time flies when your'e having fun! What do you mean pay us back for your college? I thought it was free.... except for the beans and rice year when it overlapped..... Believe me, the way you've turned out make it all worthwhile. Needless to say i'm very proud of my "perfessor" and her family. Little Nick looks like he's turning out to be a real maverick. Wonder where he got that? Thoroughly enjoy reading your thoughts - you really should try selling some of what you write - there's some real talent there, as I've been saying for, what? fifteen years or so. You could be the Ann Coulter of the NY liberal set. So how come my two daughters have settled in the two most liberal states in the country? Where did I go wrong? Although, at about age forty or so, I would expect that you and Cindee will start undergoing a transformation..... Believe it or not, at one time I had some pretty liberal notions too. Right now, we're in the midst of getting Vickie's Mom through some bypass/new valve surgery she had last week in Lubbock. All very sudden based on an arteriogram she had the day before. I was getting ready to ask your professional advice on some of the problems she was having with her eyes when she got the results of the arteriogram. We may be taking her in for a while in a couple of weeks. She really doen't have anyone else at this point, given the fact that she can be pretty difficult to live with. We'll see how that goes..... Still trying to keep the old property in Hobbs out of the city's clutches until we can find a buyer. Hobbs is booming with oil prices the way they are and a new uranium enrichment plant being built (along with the race-track/casino that's about a year old now). Hopefully we'll be able to sell it off pretty soon - just don't have the where-with-all to do much to it anymore. Plus Brittany's schedule of varsity and JV volleyball, cross-country track, dance, band, and of course a boyfriend, seem to make the days very short. Am still trying to get some RC flying in before work when the wind is calmer - I managed to total the powered glider I've been flyng for about a year, so I'm trying to fly something a little more sophisticated - a model of the Pilatus Porter I spent a great deal of time in when we were in Bangkok flying out of Chiang Mai. Neat airplane..... Air America flew a lot of them in SE Asia back in the 60's. I guess I better close and give the City of Hobbs a few hours work...... Hugs and kisses to everybody from us all Love, Dad Hi Chris,

Dorks don't revel in dark chocolate and chips with guac! That is definite cool material. I share with you a fondness for Norm. I might, actually, surpass you. I don't want to hire him, but I have always wanted to marry him. He is, obviously, brilliant and he has a humility that I still remember from those Bob Villa classics. And, come on. He does that whole red flannel thing so well. : ) Denise aka, D.D.* * double dork You silly. You are not a dork! Dorks don’t revel in dark chocolate and chips with guac!
