Yes my dear, the new system needs to come soon.  For every ones sake.  And did I read correctly or did you write wretched...3 times??  You sound like grandma beep!  Your dreams were terrible.  I got tears in my eyes when you told me today.  The thought of anything more happening to anyone I love, I cant even handle the thought.

And dear Bill Rothman.  When you told me he died yesterday.  I was so upset. Surprisingly upset.  Such a dear little old man.  I dont have a lot of childhood memories without him in them.  Remember how happy he always was? As he talked to you he would hold your hand in both of his.  So warm.  You could tell he was genuinely happy to see you every time.  And he was so encouraging.  Did he ever miss a meeting???  I will never forget that every time I saw him he would say, "there's my red" And I loved it. I will also miss his tie clips.  He always had the cutest ones.  His poor family.  I hurt for them. I talked to his niece in the bathroom today and she started to cry.  I think my heart ached for her. 

anyway, I'm writing to you as you are in the other room working on OUR lunch for tomorrow.  Maybe you would like some of my help?
