What would he consider eggs or pancakes... a light supper...?

Always a good thing to keep track of for one's self, even if someone
else is also paying attention...  I've been taking care of mine all
along (admittedly usually only the one twice a day), and I only put in
some guidance at the beginning for Richard now that he suddenly has a
passle of pills.  I'm planning to try to keep track of what he's taking,
but leave it to him to manage his own.

Ah... that does put a slightly different slant to it...  Your brother
should build him an attached greenhouse...?  (G)

 NB>  RH>> Cherry-o, chaps!
 NB>  NB>> We certainly don't want it to get ugli...
 RH>> No, especially since we can't elope.
 NB>> Or say our hon-I-dews?  :)

 RH> Those were said to the one olive.

(I suppose that's a fruit, sorta... also a real stretch...  maybe we are
out, now...)
