To Charlotte, my dear wife....I'm sending you this email to bring up to date on the events of our family.  I tried to talk to you while you were on your computer, but you just kept telling me that you would BRB.....whatever that means.  So, I decided to send you this email.

Mike is worried about you. He forgot what your head looked like from the front. He's the one that taught you to use the computer.   Can you read the letters he tried to paint back on your keyboard? Most of them had been rubbed off.

Wendy had her first date Saturday night.  She had a good time and said to thank you for letting them use your car.  She put the keys back on the key rack underneath the cobwebs where she found them.    In case you've forgotten her, Wendy's the one who has you raise your feet when she's running the sweeper.

Randy is playing ice hockey.  He wanted to know if you would come to one of his games if we bought you a laptop to bring along?  Do you remember him?  Remember how he laughs when he hears the Ut Oh sound? He's the one who empties your porta potty for you.

Lets see.....since the last time I wrote you (3 months ago), the refrigerator had to be replaced, the dog died from old age,  we painted the room where your computer is (hope you like the color), the church has a new pastor, the President is facing impeachment, and oh yes..... I have a new job.

Well, I think that's about it.  I'll email you again in about 3 months.  You take care of yourself honey.  We all "miss" you very much and will see you the next time the power goes off!

Love, your husband .... Bob
