Nothing 4 Nothing

I watched The English Patient on the telly, it is a good 2 boxes of Kleenex movie, not to mention Narveen Andrews plays Kip in it. Did I tell you am a huge Narveen Andrews fan? I love him as Sayid on LOST, he is so handsome, his eyes are a mirror to his soul, I never seen any guy with eyes like that. Sigh. Pending Sale, that is what the sign says on the house across the street. Wonder who the new neighbors will be? My internet connection was slow as molasses yesterday. I should call SBC for help, but when I have problems that overwhelms me I tend to run away from them. I know that is not good, but it is me. Had a nice chat with DQ, we discussed old saying like: you can't teach an old dog new tricks, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, don't buy a pig in a poke....stuff like that. He had a notebook and was writing things down. I asked him if he was a cop now, writing down everything I say. He told be he wanted to keep a list of expressions from different countries.
Yesterday I got a letter from DL, 9 legal size pages written on both sides, it is a "keeper" I think it is one of the best letters I ever received. It was about ordinary day to day things, but what a difference it is to read these thoughts on paper rather than hear it over the telephone or read them in a hastily written email. We need to write snail mail letters to each other more often, not just at Christmas time. A letter you can read and reread and know that the sender put a lot of thought and effort into his words. You will find me waiting by my mailbox.
