Hi Janis                3/19/2013

We got an Email [two, actually] from Gail asking us to reply to the Picnic
inquiry.  We would love to come down, God willin' and the creek don't rise.

We will just be getting home from a 3 or 4 day [can't remember] bus tour on
Friday the 12th.  I might well be a bit pooped and would not want to plan
driving to Ithaca on Saturday.   We therefor will try to drive down on
Sunday morning, and drive home Monday.

We would miss the Picnic if it's on Saturday.  Shipps suggested we ask if
the picnic could be on Sunday.  I fear that might not be so good for
others, though. A minority shouldn't usually prevail.   But I guess it
won't hurt to ask how all the other attendees feel about that?  Please be
honest, my skin can be as thick as necessary.  

So, what say folks?

We are doing well.  Butch is still recovering from hurting her knee before
Xmas.  The knee is still swollen a bruised a bit, but Doctors say time will
cure it.  Other than that she's still my loving child bride.

I am getting older [83 for the Picnic] and fatter, [bigger belly now] but
my many diagnosis haven't interfered much with my life... damn lucky there!

I'm fully recovered from pile driving my chest into a church railing a week
or two after Xmas.  I can't believe I could slam into a low railing so hard
and not break my breast bone or ribs.  Got off with a Deep Wall chest
bruise. [doctor's Caps] 

An Ontopicizer, with apologies to Michael.  [although 'microwave' <could>
be Mongolian for 'stir fry', eh?]

Idle thought: Does Michael ever use a Microwave in cooking?
