Greetings from Stockton, where it will be *gasp* sunny today.  Mary Lou, I would gladly take your rain&#33;  <br />
<br />
I was too efficent yesteday and finished off all the work that the secretary had for me.  It didn&#39;t take very long to imput a bnch of names and addresses.  So, I&#39;m going out to lunch with a former co-worker.  he&#39;s since retirend and I think just missed seeing folks.  He&#39;s decided that it&#39;s time for him to repay the favor and take care of his folks, so that&#39;s what he does now.  And they love it.  keep telling him that he&#39;s a gift to them and he insists that he&#39;s just being a good son.  <br />
<br />
Actually, I don&#39;t mind being home, although I miss the daily contact with the students and that&#39;s why I enjoy going to the theater.  It gives me the contact that I otherwise don&#39;t have.  It would be nice if I could do more than shuffle paper, but we all have loads to bear.  Mine is no more than someone else&#39;s.<br />
<br />
Other than the usual assortment of daily chores and the like, not much is happening here.  maybe I&#39;ll finally get that quiet day i&#39;ve been talking about...<br />
<br />
Mary Lou, can&#39;t wait to hear how Bobby Vinton was.  More importantly, let us know how your niece&#39;s show was.  I didn&#39;t even know that they&#39;d written an opera about Pocahantas.<br />
<br />
Kenichi called to say that he was headed for the West Coast, alas not home and not to Modesto for a job interview (sigh), but to work on a show down in LA.  Sadly, he won&#39;t have time to stop in here, but he needs to go back to paint a set for something...can&#39;t keep up with him any longer.  <br />
<br />
Have a grand day everyone&#33;<br />
<br />
Charlie
