Ellen, most eloquent good rummy sport –

I don’t remember at all what happens to Montag, running for his life. But I do know a few things I don’t want to forget. First, math papers! Get them out of the bag. Organize them by date. Present them to your mother. Get to the bottom of the Math Grade Mystery!

Inventions! Good luck with that. I still say Velcro. Though I did read just the other day in Discovery Magazine that there is a new gadget coming that is supposed to help make thin even thinner. I can’t find the article online for you but it was about a not so new technology given a new use. You know the deoderizer over the frig? It charges molecules and atoms and they grab hold of odors and … well, that’s that. Anyway, this new use for the ionizer is as a ‘fan’ in a laptop. The charged particles apparently move! So, at one end of the gadget, passing molecules and atoms are given a positive charge. At the other end is a negatively charged electrode. Guess where the positively charged particles go. Right. Toward the negatively charged electrode. And that creates an airflow. To cool laptops. Cellphones. Nintendo. You name it. It is the next great invention in a world that loves thin small toys. If you want me to dig it up for you, let me know.

You did a great review of the Archeology article. I read the same one. So, I can say with authority – you had it down. Good for you.

Regarding Charlie Bartlett. You may want to check with your mom. It’s rated R. That means, at the very least, it is going to be off color.

Here’s a Charlie of a different sort.

Bullet for my Valentine? I don’t know. I guess Cupid has his arrows, right?

Well, Michael and Rachel are here for Pizza Night. Michael just lost a tooth eating hard sticky candy. That was exciting. Uncle Dave to the rescue.

Another great visit with you. Ellen. Thanks for that. Think about archery talk for el fin de semana que viene.

Hasta la proxima,

Dad

Ms. Grumpy Gills:

Do you think it might be time to share an explanation of this comment?

Were you baiting me? Or, just being impolite? How is the super-human, super-sensitive man of your dreams supposed to respond to the unexplained declaration “I’m angry”? How about the average human sub-sensitive criminalized and estranged husband?  You know, when you do something like that and follow up as you have the last few days by doing the things that need to be done … but avoiding vulnerability, it does make me think perhaps the things are more important to you than … you are to yourself. Anyway, something’s up, you’re not telling, I’m not quessing, but considering that you’ve done this kind of thing more than once, I am expecting the other shoe to smart a bit when it finally does drop.

Until then,

Just keep swimming!
