Ahoy Michael!

Probably, but not as much fun I suppose!

-> The Shipps have been serving me beer some of which I

Oh I'm sure I'll manage to finish them 
off before the end of summer...probably.

-> It is. Next time when my life is wide open we'll do more

I know the feeling! Hope we manage to 
see you again soon.

-> They used to be a major and respected publisher, so I'm told. 
-> Actually, when I took my first assignments from them, in the

Most "hardcopy" publishing firms are 
suffering with the advent of the 
digital e-readers. Even Annie has
one that I bought her and she does
enjoy it! Very convenient and she can
carry a whole library along with her
so she can vary her reading if she so
desires.
 
->  ->  HN> Hope your flights went well, Annie
->  ->  HN> says Byeeee!
->  -> One of the best, on Alaska.
-> 
-> Where I am now, with the Swishers recovering from various
-> ailments, plus I have this cold, so we're just chilling here
-> as well.
->
I saw about the cold...Anne and I 
are both cold free so hopefully you
did not pick it up here. Fried Gizzards
would have helped ward off those germs
I am sure!

Somewhere in there should be the
small one we had here at Wapato 
Park...You, Benita, us, the shy
guy from port orchard and another
family...small picnic but all echo
folk.

Anne, Amanda and I missed the 92
Portland picnic with Stephen C.
and Magnus. We were down in San
Fran at the time and ended up 
passing through the Gilroy
Garlic festival while they 
were there (we did not sotp
it was FAR too hot). We were
on our way back north by then.
Still that's pretty good for
20 years of picnics!!
chat with you soon!
