Hi Ruth,

-> I've read, I think, a total of one.  I'd rather read Tom Clancy, James
-> MIchiner, Jean Auel, etc.

 RH> Organic chem textbooks, grocery lists, obscure theology journals, etc.
 RH> They're all better.

Well, I'd put some other reading on the same level but not a lot. I'd
have to ask Steve about the theology journals (text books); I didn't
have any of those this year. He has had a lot of "heavy" reading.

->  RH> No space.  They do have on-site storage but that's about all.

-> That's a help at least.

 RH> Not good enough, but it has to do for now.  There was talk of buying
 RH> an old school bus and leaving everything set up on that.

That would work, if you had some steps you could set up out the
emergency exit so there would be a one way flow of people.


->  RH> I found a vintage 50s velvet cocktail dress once, perfect
->  RH> church who's about that tiny; it was a perfect fit.

-> Tough choice--give it away or snag it for the fabric.

 RH> It was in perfect shape; I couldn't have born cutting that up.

Since there was someone it fit and she wanted it, it was a no brainer.
Had she not been there or not wanted it, then it may have been a
potential cut up.

-> At times, yes.  Setting up the kitchen--figuring out what I could stow
-> where.  Making sure I had a cabinet for my dishes and some sort of
-> pantry.  The move up to here & the one to GA, the pantry part hasn't
-> been great, only workable on an "I know I'm not going to be here
-> forever" basis.

 RH> It's only temporary.  It's only temporary. (tears hair) It's only
 RH> temporary. Repeat.

Yes, and we can do minor things here and there to make it work better.
Found some "tracks" that go around the outside of shelves so we put one
on the top shelf of the fridge and one inside the pantry.  For the
fridge, it's like adding another door shelf.  With the wire racks in the
pantry closet, it helps keep some of the canned goods steady.  We can
take them with us or ditch here whenever we move--depends on what shape
they're in when we move.  We also got a couple of Rubbermaid type
plastic cabinets. One is set up in the computer room for linens; the
other is in the kitchen holding some of my lesser used, odd shaped,
small appliances.  They'll knock apart for moving but reassemble in 5
minutes.

-> Just a reminder not to plan on eating out in Monterey when the Crosby
-> Tournament is in town. We only had to deal with it one year tho.

 RH> It won't be much of a problem.  First, I don't do golf, and second I
 RH> don't "do" Monterrey.

This is the one R Monterey--the one in CA, not Mexico.  We were out
there for Steve's language school so unless you plan on getting an
overseas federal job or joining the military as a linguist (Naval Post
Graduate School is also out there), you can avoid it.  We emjoyed our
time there over all--a nice little Mexican restaurant was the one that
was crowded but they had some good food. We made several visits to it in
the 6 months I was there.
