I normally don't read emails unless they are from customers complaining, family members trying to reach me, or otherwise having something to do with keeping my head above water. But I received the followingfrom one of the programs I am in - a humorous letter which I really identify with - I spend so much time on the PC that I don't think i can talk with people anymore.. :)

To My Darling Husband,
I'm sending you this letter in a bogus software company envelope so you'll be sure to read it.
Please forgive the deception, but I thought you should know what's been going on since your computer entered our lives two years ago.
The children are doing well. Tommy is 7 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 but yours was
excellent! The chair and back of your head are very realistic. You would be proud
of him.
Jennifer turned5 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 Jen, despite the fact that it was stormy
and the electricity was out.
Danny hasthree months until hissecond birthday; I don't know if you remember him - he was our last child, was born after 32 hours of hard labor. I missed you terribly, sweetheart...
I showed little Dan a picture of you as he has not actually seen your face without the monitor glowing eerilyin the background - he seemed a little frightened, but you know how children are at that age...
I discovered that the household chores are much easier since I realized
that you didn't mind being vacuumed and that the feather duster made you
sneeze.
The house is in good shape. I had the living room painted last spring.
I'm not sure if you noticed it. I asked the painters to cut air holes in
the drop cloths so you wouldn't be disturbed.
I went toHawaii for our tenth wedding anniversary - the weather was absolutely perfect and I do wish you could have been there.
Well dear, I must be going. The family is leaving on a ski trip and
there is much packing to do. I've hired a house-keeper to take care of
things while we are away. She'll keep things in order, fill your coffee
cup and bring your meals to the computer room just the way you like it.
I hope you and the computer have a lovely time while we are gone. Tommy,
Jen, Dannyand I think of you often.
Try to remember us while your disks are booting.
Love, Mary
Have a great New Year!
Lorri
