July 11, 2000 Second Day of Camp    Letter One  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Dear Shauna,

I like the idea of being able to email you! The mail is so slow! I hope
that you will get something from me tomorrow. I've sent several things.

I guess you're interested in knowing what is happening in DFW since you are
in the wilderness.

Well, I was surprised to wake up yesterday and see over two feet of SNOW!
It covered everything, including that stupid mail man who keeps putting the
neighbors mail in our box.

When everyone saw him there with his tongue frozen to the mail box, they
laughed and cheered, until someone took pity and broke him loose. If it
remains cold, you may be able to see his tongue sticking to the box when you
get back.

It was very uncomfortable making my way through the snow to take your pet
for a walk. I wish you'd gotten a dog or cat or something. Walking a T-Rex
is really tough. Gunther from next door came out just as the walk started,
so I didn't have to feed Rexy his main course. Don't know who our new
neighbor will be.

Hope you won't be mad, but Rexy's dessert was that pesky boy who always
wants you to go skating with him. At least he will remain near in spirit.

That's about all today, except that Prozac stuff or whatever that was the
doctor gave me cause I was so depressed about not seeing you for three
weeks seems to be working.

Life just seems kinda funny.

I love you and miss you!

Dad Duh
