Hope you are ok. Computer
down?
Thanks for phone message.
I am still struggling with my cell phone.
Lots of Burn Notice
Marathons on these days, plus NCIS with that
wacky forensic specialist
in the lab, Pauly Perrete, one of my favorites.

Good corn bread:
take yellow Albers corn meal
box from supermarket.
Follow recipe on it for corn bread, but double the eggs and sugar. Super stuff.
We used to use this as part of our
turkey
stuffing in the older
bolder days, when we didall that cooking for holidays.

Lulu.com and selfpublilsher.net
are some sites for self-publishing. There
are others.
Best thing for me was to
make something I liked but didn't find in the
market place.
With down turn in economy,
look for switcherooo of you with green
young cheaper guy or gal.
Get acquainted with temp. agencies. Ditto
for your wife Mona the
programmer. Be sure and back up your writing,
making a CD or DVD of it
as you go. Remember the old word processing
class mantra: EVERY TEN
MINUTES PRESS 'SAVE' ON YOUR PROGRAM!!!!!!
I had my computer wiped to clean out virus
infections from my porn
survey and all my Word
Perfect word processing program files are gone,
including my medical
history for last thirty years. Haven't yet figured
out how to deal with this.
I am sure its going to take some more working.
Your brother and I are set
for a meet here Sun Feb One. We will
try a new restaurant for
lunch. They are all over the place in this part of
town. I think last time we
ate here was either Nichols or El Rincon
Corrilo ( the Creole
corner). Cuban sandwiches are good.
Lots of new TV. I got
headache last night switching around from
The Beast, to Battlestar
Gallactica, to Criminal Minds, Law and Order
SVU, CSI Los Vegas and New
York, Charlie Rose interviewing Rohn
Immanuel, new Pres Chief
of Staff.
Appearances count. Best
dresser on TV is Tony Harris of CNN.

Hey, back from the DEAD.
Thanks for pacage from Texas. Pecans rule!
when I was in second grade
in Moye Military School near San Antonio
Texas, we were retained by
local pecan grove owners to help with
pecan harvest. We were
given burlapbags, and divided into teams of three students each, and were transported
to and from the groves, where we just combed the grounds picking up pecans which
had fallen and were laying on the grounds. This was before the modern tree
shaker motorized units became common place
that today harvest these nuts, walnuts, and other nuts and some
fruits.
I am going out to pay last
unpaid bill today, and visiting urologist at his new office at new Ronald Regan
medical building at UCLA. Parking is doubled from old Brotmann med building,
and is now ten dollars. I remember the old adgage: never shake hands with one wearing
rubber gloves!
He will say, ' Hi George,
good to see you. Now drop your pants and
bend over this exam table while I shove my hand and wrist up your ass to my elbow. As my eyes
cross and breath stops, he dives in and feels around rubbing my prostate,
producing that dark scary dark blue numbing pain syndrome, then he withdraws
with a pop, and hands me a wad of Kleenex to jam up my ass before I get re
dressed. He will say, You are Ok. I spend the rest of the day vibrating and
trying to sit still on my throbbing ass. This too will pass. Goal of every
organ below waist is to just keep on passing.

A writer is one who
writes. Form doesn't matter. Emails count.
Your pecans are great. We
collected them as second grader in Moye
Military school near San
Antonio, Texas where I was interred one
year. I remember
young Kirby, heir to Kirby Vaccuum Machine
Company, getting sick
at lunch with the Nuns and vomiting green
goo all over
the table, from the burritos made from
guacamole........

Your tiny volume is now in
the mail.
Thanks for card.
My tiny neighbor, Bernadine,
aged 4, arrived with her mother Carla, to deliver a nice tray of home baked
cookies for my Christmas treat. Goods baked by the grandparents used to be the
focal point of any xmas we had in the old
days. I promised her part
of my next cooking bash, probably ham hocks and lima, and navy beans and
onions. She seemed interested. I already have laid away greens and hocks, and
turkey soup. I never learned to bake, and I cannot use my stove, as exhaust
vent doesn't work. I still can do things with one burner on the stove and the
microwave.

Ok. Your brother and I
will meet here Feb 1.
He sounds tired of words.
No feedback about the
Tibetan Buddhism book I gave him.
I am finishing up the
Chinese Tao book, developed before
the Buddhism began. All
these philosophies were attempts
of understanding actual
life with no knowledge of actual
cause and effect. They all
were developed before telescopes,
electrical machines,
space travel, rockets, airplanes, trains,
germ theory of disease,
microscopes, writing for everyone,
books which maintained
discoveries, etc.

I guess you don't like
ginger snaps as much as I like those Dutch Maid
brand snaps in the brown
paper bag, made in Abilene, Texas.
