Hi folks, hope all is well. I have a rare moment in front of a real computer, here goes:[More:]

I've been in and outta town, not working as much as planning (strange territory). Ithaca after Thanksgiving was gorges, as was my leisurely return to the Big Apple. I wore a hundred-year old bearskin coat the other day, and made chicken soup from scratch. Not at the same time.

My nephew sent me some writing samples: he's in kindergarten now, and he types his essays himself; not only that, but as you can see below, he's pretty savvy about word processors, too:

Space-
How the
Soler
Sistym was
formed


Chapter #1
The earth, while nearing its size, a explosion
Happens. A huge amont of gas, tares away
A lot of the earth. Pluto is`t a planet
Enymore. It is called a dwarf planet.
Satern`s rings were formed by
Its moons crashing into
Them self. Jupiter got
Its red spot from
A storm. The gas
Planets are:
Jupiter,
Satern,
Uranus,
And,
Neptune!


Small pieces of dust stick together they become large bodys. The rocky

planets are: earth, mars, mercury, and venus.


Halley`s comet is seen every 76 years. Little clumps of gas form. One
to
become our sun. meanwhile the
Clump swerls, and swerls, our infant sun. finally,
At last the soler sistym + the sun are finally, at
Last pas into the soler sistym.

the newspaper tells news. cars take people to places. you read a book
if
you can read, or have an adult read it to you. phones help you call
someone. houses or, bildings help you live in pece. maps help you know

were you are going. computers help you lern about things.

How to make a ginger boy, or, a ginger
man

Hugs for all, hope you're well, and to those who aren't, double hugs.
Your nephew is such a smart kiddo. Hopefully, the establishment won't grind him to mediocrity like the rest of us.

Hi Hugh! Hope you have a merry merry!

Hugh, maybe you should hand over your account to the nephew and let him compose stories while you're away from a "real" computer!

Have cup of good cheer, and keep in touch.

If more kids were like your nephew, Hugh, I'd worry less about how we're all going to hell in a handbasket.

It's nice to see you posting.
