News from Wilkesboro

We just got back from seeing 'Wordplay', a fascinating movie about crossword puzzles and the addicts who do them. One of the people in the film was Merle Reggle who does the Tampa puzzles Mother saves for us. Not only does he live in Tampa, they filmed him at 'First Watch' - a nice breakfast place up in Carrollwood. He's practically our neighbor!

We had a great time in Winston. I went to the big discount wine store, then we went to our favorite Indian restaurant, then to Borders for some books, then to the big Stephen's Center in downtown Winston. It is Winston's version of the Tampa Theatre but it is much grander. When we got back I had to take Leo for a walk he was so wild.

It's good to see that Jackie is now officially a member of the blog! Now we can expect something from her. Has anyone got any news about Jennifer? Laura and I both enjoyed looking at the pictures from St Louis. The wife of one of my new colleagues went there and loved it.

Blaine - yes, it is nice to have a wife who will do the driving when the weather gets bad. But that was mainly because I was virtually comatose and needed to nap. Something about aging.

Everybody take care.
