for the moment you will be seeing Dragonryder on the newsgroup instead of
madgardener. Her computer is down, I am about to leave to go out on the
road and she has no way of using her computer until I return. Any posts or
contacts to her go ahead and send them anyway as she says she is going to
go
to the local library to use their computer until hers is fixed. I am also
going to let her use my computer downstairs, but until I can give her the
passwords and tell her how to log on to her server and e-mail, it might
take
her awhile. And since I don't have her address book, it would be helpful
to
her if you gave her a holler so she can add your address to my computer
for
the time being. I appreciate your kindness and patience. There is
nothing
like computer problems rising their ugly heads when you're about to leave
town. Oh and by the way, when she does get online, it will have my
signature
instead of hers. But I'm sure she will identify herself. I'm sending this
as a courtesy for her and will inform her when she gets back from her
errands and discovers I haven't fixed the problem with the connections yet
and will be unable to do so until I return. I apologize for any
inconveniences that she will have with messages and responses. On a
garden
note, I see that despite the frigid temperatures, my loony wife was
outside
on the kitchen deck planting something in yet another container until she
got too cold and came inside. That's why I love her, she gets such
joy
in gardening. Now come springtime she will drag me outside to show me her
little flowers in that container and any other container and spot in her
flowerbeds.

Again, thanks for your patience with her and having to use my computer
once
I convince her that's all she has for the time beings.

Sincerely,
Dragonryder,

You're a good man, John Catron (a.k.a. Dragonryder)! I know the computer is
her outlet for dreams, speculation, and friends. I know why she speaks
(writes) so highly of you.

A belated cyperspace happy birthday to Marilyn (Madgardener) and a
successful road trip to you on.

John
