Thursday
The much anticipated "something other than slop day" has also come and gone. We expected spaghetti day to be a breath of fresh air, but as we slurped our pasta with plain tomato sauce we both grimaced and decided that our slop might be better. The sauce was horrible. We have been used to our home made sauce loaded with garlic, oregano and whatever else we could find in the cupboard. Today our appreciation for our normal food is growing less, and an irritation with ourselves for deciding to do this is what is overriding those feelings. Especially when Eric spent the day at Longfellow's restaurant for work practically drooling over the free food. But, we had decided that free food would not count because not everyone who is forced to eat for this little has that access (such as a job that would offer grilled chicken sandwiches). Friday brings another day of bread and slop, and we are counting down the minutes to Saturday morning!

Eric and Amanda: This is uncle Pat on Michele's email account on her new "baby ee" laptop. We are tonite in Jackson, Mississippi. Michele discovered late yesterday afternoon that she has an infection of the "ee pee"(sorry,I have lived with her for 35 plus years and speak only "Micheleism. She is sound asleeep and I am on herlit'lbabyaptop... this is laptop number three for her since I bought my apple. We can hopefully play some golf tomorrow, if she is up to it. She broke "100" on a Jack Nicklaus course in lower Miss. a few days ago, she didn't think she ever would. Then yesterday, at an Audubon Trail course in Alexandria she shot "99" to break 100 again. She has arrived!!! I tried a little trick that I read about in my golf mags about"tucking my left elbow in like I am holding a towel beneath" and magically my drive has straightened out... yikes! it is possible to improve in this sport. Are you guys losing weight? Feeling hungry? Doing long bike rides on skimpy rations? Please advise details. Got to go to bed now... we have a big day of golf tomorrow iuf whe is feeling up to it at "The Reserve". We should be home by Weds night. all our love.
