My family is all nutty and funny. They're good folks. And my aunt Marylou who's coming from Fort Worth is a riot. She's a crack-up. She's the one who normally hosts everyone at her hour. She's wonderfully funny, but she's not much of a cook. So in many ways we're glad other folks are in charge of the big main dishes.

I need to overindulge. This last little bout of hospital stuff trying new meds for the arrhythmia caused me to drop 12 pounds, which I didn't really have to spare. The medicine they sent me home on takes my appetite completely away and makes me feel slightly queasy all the time. I'm sure everyone'll be bugging me to eat a lot. I just hope I don't hurl.

Thanks again for your help, Reb. You're so good to me!
