As for me, the water doctor recommended having my bottom scraped. I am slowly being filled with Croton water and it feels wonderful. My birds are beginning to return . . On a sunny day I sparkle like fine champagne in a crystal goblet and after dusk, when the moon beams shine, I am truly awesome. Better my head be turned than removed and replaced by a plant.

That reminds me, Cardinal O'Connor came to see me a few weeks ago. He blessed me and is praying for me. I was overcome with the great honor the Cardinal bestowed upon me. You still haven't come to see me. Well, Rudy, may I call you Rudy, I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a joyful, healthful and Happy New Year.
