I only started my shopping on Monday evening.... only got there because Kevin
dragged me out to do it. I took Helen to buy her presents yesterday and tonight
I'm taking Tony over to Charlestown Mall..... tonight is the last night
shopping before Christmas. Last Year on Christmas Eve the shops were open to
midnight but they're closing at 5.30pm tomorrow. If I didn't have my 6 year old
daughter who still believes in Santa then I doubt that I would get much
pleasure out of Christmas at all.

In Australia the Christmas spirit seems to be really lacking this year. One
blessing - Prime Minister Paul Keating has declared a 'politic-free' Christmas,
no politician is allowed to talk to the media until after the New Year. :-)
It will be great if it works but somehow I keep thinking he's got Buckley's
of getting the Opposition to keep their mouths shut.

Receiving pictures of grandchildren does indeed make for a successful
happy day....we have a great new picture of Patricia Susan Kaczmarczik
for the beginning of the "Patricia Wall" in our room, and both her
grandfather and I have pictures for our desks.  Mine is particularly
adorable...Patricia in a pink sailor dress, under a lacy white parasol,
smiling her most winning smile. :-)

Another cavil about this new version of VM/CMS mail: it adds another
whole layer to disengaging.  There's a message now that says "Termination
in progress. Please wait."  I didn't have to wait before.

When I took an e-mail class several years ago, the instructor said that
VM/CMS meant "Virtual Machine/Conversational Monitoring System."  Now
may be the time for me to ask what this means.

The following is written on an aged yellow index card in my recipe box:

Kushaw
Parboil, remove insides (save shell)
Saute insides in butter w/sugar to taste
Replace in shell & bake 40 mins at 400.

I think I wrote that down after eating baked kushaw (sp?) at a friend's
house in the early '70s.  He was from S. Louisiana.  I have a vague memory
that we didn't know how to spell it and made up the "kushaw" spelling.  I
have no memory of where he found the kushaw.  The eating of it occurred here
in Starkville.

I think the thing I hate the most about this new mail package is that
before if I had a lot of mail (such as this morning), I could just grab
a temp disk, use getmail to transfer the mail onto the temp disk from the
reader, and edit the unread notebook:  no fuss, no bother.  Now, getmail
actually goes through the mail process (build an index for the notebook
and load the mail into the notebook), which means I have to wait for 5
minutes before I can edit.  Sending is harder, too (the default is to
cancel the send), but confirming the deletions is easier (just press ENTER).
All-in-all, I want my old mailer back!

You can make up for your oversight by providing his present on the
appropriate January day for Greek and/or Russian Orthodox Xmas (sorry,
I don't know the dates).  By then he'll need more Snausages, no doubt.

I hope all those for whom today was a holiday enjoyed themselves --
and Season's Greetings to all

P.S.  Judith, wish I'd known earlier that you were coming through town
today -- but alas by the time I saw your earlier note you were probably
already home in Providence.  Hope your journey was a pleasant one.  I'll
try to talk to Rita soon about the possible Wordsler Twelfth Night
gathering.

They must impress easily.:)

Storm Field is a weatherman for WABC-TV in New York.  And that's his real
name (his father, Dr. Frank Field, is a weatherman for WCBS-TV).

Carbuncles?  Those like the 'family jewels'?
