Dear You, You Still Like Me!Yeeee-hooooooo!*echo, echo, cho, ho, o, o* You can hear me shouting across the centuries. That's the best news I've had in a long time. Except maybe the news that we have squirrel fritters for dinner. No. Definitely your news is better. (sorry for the bad joke your news has made me daffy thanks for such a lovely letter!) Think on it! --- a woman who won't be conceived for centuries is going to feel favorably RE:me high five! (squirrel tastes like shrew, only fattier) A Bouquet of Flowers for Youthe first ones to appear in the slushthey've been dead for 633 years . . . I'm unpreparedThey told us we wouldn't be able to communicateat all from back here! (I'm tongue-tied) I'm overpreparedI've been using the 14th century silenceto cram my head with stories to tell when I get back! (I'm too gabby) apologies for both I'm Tired of Being Coldeven with your back against a rocka fire like this only warms one side of you my typing fingers are fah-reezing Utterly ForeignThanks for the news briefs, too.Mind bending! After being back here almost eleven months 2002 seems ghostly & fantastickal the great towers fallen fighting along the Silk Road fighting in the Holy Land Bent minds!

Rural country calendrage is still very approximate so, if you missed it, you're still in plenty of time Here's how to celebrate the good, ol' fashion way: 1) Dress up like your boss and imitate them in front of everybody (that's the fun part) but, of course, they get to imitate you, too (which is very . . . cough . . . um . . . informative) 2) Do unspeakable things with eggs 3) Get drunk and celebrate, with your lover, a round of heavy petting (it's absolutely forbidden to get pregnant until June 'cause one would be too big to help with Fall harvest) Cluck Cluck Cluckthanx so much for your concern . . .BUT don't worry! I'm not in much danger We're exactly the kind of namby-pamby soldiery that Nick Machiavelli is going to bitch about in 140 yrs. or so We're essentially Showy Blowhards who ride around looking tough gathering information and doing our level damndest to never ever ever fight Our standing orders are to Run Like Chickens The other free companies basically earn their money from: a) protection rackets b) ransom c) negotiation and we earn our spending money from that. . . and our real money from doing something-or-other that Regine's not allowed to tell us about Anyway, they so much as promised us we'll never have to fight Here's SkipHere's Skip doing his Regine imitationa few days ago Skip's Regine is right on.
