Yelapa. Coconut. Nice shades! And the pie was good. Approached Mosbrucker quality. And it was on the beach.

Excellent location, and the food has been nominated for (but never won) an Addie Award* three of the last seven years.

*The Addie is awarded by the estate of Melvin Belli, author of the groundbreaking plaintiff´s attorney´s tract "The Adequate Award".

Why our phone line was so noisy. Just a conjecture, of course, but when I rewired it so that red connected to red & green connected to green, all the static on the line disappeared.

Is WNRQ?

"...what?"
"Is WNRQ?"
"Is WNRQ, what?"
"Is WNRQ?"
"What does that mean? Do you have a verb? WNRQ? Is that a radio station?"
"No. Is WNRQ?? Did you put it in there? In netflix?"
"...oh! Is 'W' in our queue. Yeah, I don't think so. But I'll take care of it. Chee."

Letter to Dvvid
I done a b-a-a-a-ad thing to my 'puter at home. The other night, Mary was reminiscing about seeing Aerosmith open for Mott the Hoople at the Orpheum in Boston in 1973. Wellsir, I donned my hip-boots and camo-gear and went out a-huntin' in the wilds of the internet to see if I could scare up a video or even an MP3 of the gig. Somewhere along the line, I musta stepped in some bear sign, because now my screen always looks like-a this. I did a full McAfee scan after the event, (2 files quarantined & 4 removed) but it's still showing that warning & nothing I do seems to make it go away. So I'm thinking that maybe I should bring it to my guy in Chinatown this weekend and have him re-install my OS (Windows XP). That should take care of it, right? RIGHT?
