Well, I can understand that people who should keep in touch don't because they are too busy. I am too. I went ago a ninetieth birthday party yesterday and home too late to write and far too late for a 90-year-old to be up! Today I am preparing to go to another lake for a couple of days....at least, I'm getting caught up on some reading. I finished the Anne Tyler book; I'm taking Kate Atkinson's new book with me today.

I'm saving up some ideas for you. Plus a to-do list you wouldn't believe. At least I'm "dropping a note" as they used to say. Why don't you do the same? (You know who you are.)
