wed23dec98 (dunno what else to say) ----------------------------------------------------------- it's 3:21 eastern standard time. i'm in cincinnati. in the other room dad is making newspaper noises. he won't go to bed until i do. i just got here from chicago a couple hours ago. it would be unconsociable to type anymore. good night. he says "hey, zasrancze", which playfully casts itself as something close to "eh, shithead". we are very relaxed here. it's almost like mates at sea. tempers can and do flare up like on a ship, too. good night redux as dad takes the bathroom.
