TO MY DARLING HUSBAND:
|
|
|
|
I am sending you this letter via this BBS
|
|
communications thing, so that you will be sure to
|
|
read it. Please forgive the deception, but I
|
|
thought you should know what has been going on at
|
|
home since your computer entered our lives two
|
|
years ago. The children are doing well. Tommy is
|
|
seven now and is a bright, handsome boy. He has
|
|
developed quite an interest in the arts. He drew
|
|
a family portrait for a school project, all the
|
|
figures were good, and the back of your head is
|
|
very realistic. You should be very proud of him.
|
|
|
|
Little Jennifer turned three in September. She
|
|
looks a lot like you did at that age. She is an
|
|
attractive child and quite smart. She still
|
|
remembers that you spent the whole afternoon with
|
|
us on her birthday. What a grand day for Jenny,
|
|
despite the fact that it was stormy and the
|
|
electricity was out.
|
|
|
|
I am doing well. I went blonde about a year ago,
|
|
and discovered that it really is more fun!
|
|
George, I mean, Mr. Wilson the department head,
|
|
has, uh, taken an interest in my career and has
|
|
become a good friend to us all.
|
|
|
|
I discovered that the household chores are much
|
|
easier since I realized that you didn't mind being
|
|
vaccumed but that feather dusting made you sneeze.
|
|
The house is in good shape. I had the living room
|
|
painted last spring; I'm sure you noticed it. I
|
|
made sure that the painters cut holes in the drop
|
|
sheet so you wouldn't be disturbed.
|
|
|
|
Well, my dear, I must be going. Uncle George, uh,
|
|
Mr. Wilson, I mean, is taking us all on a ski trip
|
|
and there is packing to do. I have hired a
|
|
housekeeper to take care of things while we are
|
|
away, she'll keep things in order, fill your
|
|
coffee cup and bring your meals to your desk, just
|
|
the way you like it. I hope you and the computer
|
|
will have a lovely time while we are gone. Tommy,
|
|
Jenny, and I will think of you often. Try to
|
|
remember us while your disks are booting.
|
|
|
|
Love, Karen
