Do I carry my citations with me? Guess so. I mostly write on-line. from memory . Seem to take my head everyplace. . Wife's ill,and I fell down a flight of stairs. So,I'm mending, sitting by her office phone,writing on her computer,and tying up her fax line. I think lost children were,and are,everywhere. Like the girl in Salt Lake last year. They were hunting her within sounds of their voices. And my wife needs a few more days in the hospital. Important thing is that we got her there reasonably quickly,and the emergency room made a quick dianosis that seems correct,and that she's responding to treatment. We thought 1st she had seafood poisoning,or food poisoning, but it's bowel blockage. Previous surgery adhesions likely. Will know more later. You should have played football vs Williamsburg,Ohio WILDCATS starting Clifford Jones. Starring Clifford Jones.. STARRING CLIFFORD JONES, and coached by Coach Smith.
