One problem with us and the Pacific NW is that neither of us drinks coffee! Herbal tea works, when we finally meet. Happy Valentines to y’all as well! D

Translation:
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter.

Mark Twain said something very similar, but Twain never built a cool looking mechanized adding machine called the “Pascaline”. Instead Twain chose to write content used to torture every child in America. To be fair, Twain didn’t invent the torture, it’s all those darn english teachers!

P.S.: A couple of retired sweet english teachers in western New York are excluded from my grossly generalized accusation against english teachers.

Check out this article in the NYTimes. Comments are closed or they’d get an earful. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/opinion/sunday/marriage-suits-educated-women.html?src=me&ref=general

For what it’s worth, you’re marrying someone for the rest of your LIFE, so it better be someone interesting to talk to. I didn’t spend 20 extra years to find Mr. Right to marry him just because he has a cute butt. And yes, I do receive physics lessons on long car trips that put the dog and me to sleep. Dee

Try a haiku sometime. We’re hoping for a good week, another one came alive tonight so were looking at a few good ones. Don’t second-guess yourself in person or in your writing or anywhere. We love you and if certain folks moved faster we may be close by, at least for a while. Dee
