Deep Sleep

I haven't seen my friend Fred since the end of September. He will sleep until early spring. Must be nice.

Big Kid Toys!

I see this around town! It's so cool and out of the ordinary. More....

Hey Pete! Here's a picture from that night at the Stagehouse...wait, what was it called? You know, where they recorded Side Four. I'm drawing a blank on the venue name. Oh well.

Sorry the picture is not so good. A friend sent it to me. Looks like it rained on the camera or something. Always clean the camera lens before the show! Live and learn I guess.

Do you see yourself anywhere? ;-) I see Len from the Tribe. He's the guy in the picture, front row all the way on the right, reddish shirt with a cap, holding a beer. We met in Ohio last summer the night after the Indy Show.

666

Wow! A dollar a minute doesn't sound nearly as bad as $6.66 per minute! YES. That's what was charged for the Int'l collect calls. Yeah. Don't ever accept these. My sister suggested I call to try to get them reduced. I like her idea.

International Collect Phone Calls

Okay, so I can just imagine what those calls cost. I had to tell Nora not to call me collect. Don't get me wrong. If something was wrong or she really needed to call, then of course she could, but not just because she is homesick. She lost her phone so now it's either three minutes for $3 phone card or call collect. She's done both.

She is doing well otherwise. She is living with two older señoras, no kids, no men. They baked her a cake on her 18th birthday. She's been busy making lesson plans and teaching classes. I'm not sure what she's teaching, but it's along side another volunteer so she's not alone. I miss her more than I expected, especially since all the other kids that were here, except for Leigh, have gone home.
