===================
Hi Ruth,

-> Time to break out the recording of "Taps"  file?  We're done with
-> finals, have a bit of a break before classes start up again. Steve is

 RH> Oddly, no sooner than I'd ordered the new one, the screen went back to
 RH> normal.  I'm going to hang onto the new one though, because when
 RH> screens really do go, they can go catastrophically.

That's the law of "go figure!" at work again.

-> regular semester starts about the 27th. I begin a 7 week one on the
-> 20th, then a week end intensive the end of March. I'd take another 7
-> week one but it would interfere with the trip I have planned for April.

 RH> Just as well.  That's one language I don't know much of, other than a
 RH> few culinary or theological words here and there.

I'm steering clear of it. One of us having to know it is confusing
enough, don't want to drive us both batty by my having to take it too.

->  RH> That's warmer than we were.

-> Not much, and we've got snow/sleet/freezing rain coming in after
-> midnight tonight. Steve cooked some collards with a meaty country ham

 RH> How lovely.  It's a bit nippy here at the moment, highs in the 20s.

We had a high of about 41 today.  Had snow yesterday am but most of it
was gone by noon. More to come and go tomorrow.  We spent part of the
day making some low sugar cookies & other goodies to take up to NY.


->  RH> Leftover stew is usually better than fresh anyway.
 RH> ->
-> Most of the time, yes. We finished that stew yesterday. On the way home
-> from class, Steve stopped at the resale shop around the corner from our
-> house. He found (and bought) a Calphalon hanging rack for pots; it's now
-> hanging (and loaded) in our kitchen.

 RH> Woo Hoo!  I found a small consignment store here in town; I've bought

This one uses the profits for medical missions in Africa so we don't
mind supporting it. We've donated a fair amountof stuff too.


 RH> a few things there, and hope to off-load some clothes I got at the 99
 RH> cent sale at the Sally this week.  There aren't any dressing rooms and
 RH> everything there is final sale, but at 99 cents each I'm willing to
 RH> gamble.

Sounds good, even 99 cent stuff.

-> I had my gall bladder taken out on a Thursday & was in church the next
-> Sunday. Heard about it too. (G)

 RH> Band-aid surgery allows that.

Yes, but I didn't do my usual Sunday am routine. Had a fill in for my
position as SS Director that day.

-> And if all goes according to plan, the chemo and radiation will kill
-> every nasty little cell in her body. She will need support--food

 RH> Not to mention other ones.

-> deliveries in disposable containers, maybe rides to/from treatments,
-> cute hats to cover the bald head, someone to make sure she naps when
-> tired, etc, etc, etc.

 RH> I don't know what they're going to do in that regard.  Her husband
 RH> works from home a lot of the time, which helps.

That will help. I only needed the radiation which took enough out of me,
especially near the end.
