Hi Mary Actually I do have a tv. My daughter and son in law thought I was in need and bought me one 2 years ago. No cable or satellite though. I tried to get a premium movie channel but the cable company told me I had to have a basic package first. Why? I don't want a basic package! All I want is to watch a movie now and again. So now my #2 son downloads movies and sends them to me. Last night I watched a wonderful film called Next Stop, Greenwich Village with Lenny Baker. What a talent! And Chris(topher) Walken is in it too.
You're so very fortunate to have your Dad's writings. I can't imagine! My own father never read much and he certainly didn't write anything other than checks. It would have been wonderful to know his thoughts. I guess that's a big reason I write... for my descendants... for what it's worth. Your father was kind enough to give permission to use his posts in LILA'S CHILD. They were very well thought out and well written... a joy to work with compared to some. I am right handed. I switch it up from time to time though and use my left hand instead though. I read somewhere that if a person does so they grew new neural circuitry. I figure I need all that I can get. I've heard that left handers are more in touch with the artistic side of their brain. Maybe. I know the only thing I can draw is my breath. What little artistic talent I have just comes to me. I don't know where it comes from though. Peace, Dan, the un-special On Sun, Dec 20, 2009 at 9:28 PM, Mary Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > To Dan, > > Thanks so much! I am giggling!
