- Hello there Claire,
-
- How's it going? I've never used this kind of thing before, so please
- bear with me as I try to decipher the wonderful friuts of modern
- technology here. If this doesn't work properly, or it never reaches
- you, you may never know, so don't worry about it, and I'll figure it out
- later.
-
- Thanks for your Postcard, I was living in ignorant bliss of the story
- behind the naming of the World Series, but now my eyes have been opened
- and I know the truth. But seriously, I think that my previous beliefs
- on that subject allowed me to poke more fun at the Great Country (at the
- expense of my own credibility).
-
- Sorry that I haven't written back to you sooner, but I have been
- slightly busy, and it is a well documented fact that I can be extremely
- lazy on some very rare occasions. Please accerpt my humblest apology.
-
- How is school going? Is it everything that you expected? How is life
- in the gray country? You never told me if you actually have to attend
- lectures or not, what's the scoop?
- Oops, I hit the wrong key!
-
- Work is going rather well, as you know I have been extended at AEA until
- the end of February, with the possibility of more work in March. I am
- currently also attempting to secure a one month contract with the
- Archdiocese of Toronto. It is a small database job, but it will spread
- the company name around a bit, while at the same time provide me with
- another name to add to the company's client portfolio. The problem is
- that they require someone for 40 hours a week at their downtown location
- over the next month, and I don't think Ken's dad would appreciate me
- asking him if I could have the next 4 weeks off. I am looking in to
- hiring a friend of mine temporarily to fill the position. He graduated
- from U of T in August with a double major in Computer Science and
- Commerce, and has had a tough time finding a job. Unsure.
-
- I, along with my friend Eli ( Dave), Steve Cooper, Dave, John Ray(?),
- and Mike Adams(?) attended Heather's "DANCE SHOW SPECTACULAR" last
- weekend at U of T. It was incredible, with an incredible duration of 3
- hours. I was really impressed, cheering and clapping and dancing and
- stuff. Then comes the good part, Heather looks her keys in her car and
- we wait an hour and 15 minutes for the CAA guy, who can't even open the
- door. After watching the CAA guy play around for about 45 minutes or
- so, Dave went out to try an help him. 15 minutes later I went
- out(everyone else was asleep in my car). 15 minutes later we finally
- got the door open. I dropped Eli home and then drove home in kind of a
- dream state ( which is really scary on the highway ). I got home at
- about 4:15 AM. Talk about fun eh!! The temperature that night was
- around -5 to -10 C.
-
- What are your current plans for February? I askek Charu to tell you
- that Carnival is on the 22-24 dates. Are you free? I talked to Wil, my
- cousin from BC, and he says he wants to go down, and that he'll get back
- to me and let me know when he'll be free. We should be looking into
- purchasing tickets in the next two to three weeks, after I find out if
- anyone else from around here is going. Let me know what you think and
- when you'll be free, since my work situation enables me to go down on a
- fairly flexible schedule. Think SUN & SURF & RUM & COKE & BEACH!!!
-
- I have to go now, since I made the mistake of using an online editor,
- and my dad wants to use the phone. I'm also using my friends account
- right now, and I think he's running out of time. I will talk to you
- again this week after I get my own account. If you did receive this
- send a reply to Darryl Sladden on USENET and let us know, so I'll know
- that I did something right for a change.
-
- Take care of yourself, don't work too hard, and see if you recognize
- this:
-
- "These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
- But I have promises to keep,
- And miles to go before I sleep.
-
- And miles to go before I sleep."
-
- Talk to you later,
- Love Kerrynn
