Dear Lera:

I'm LOL after reading your message.

I'm glad we have the same sense of humor. Joe and Patrick, however, will never speak to us again. Oh, well.

Patrick is desperately trying to get a 2nd mortgage to pay for our food, while Joe is trying to make a come-back.

Of course you're welcome to my phone number:
it's: 773-418-8250.

Just hope that Joe and/or Patrick don't see it, or I'm going to "get it".

Best regards, Jim

Only time will tell, Leara, regarding Patrick and Joe.

As far as prank calls go --- I love them. Just keep the heavy breathing down to a minimum (or save it for the flute).

Regards, Jim

I can't wait, Lera. My hair is standing on end.

We've got some serious snow here in Chicago, too, although it looks like we're headed for rain over the week-end.

The old saying in Chicago is: "You don't like the weather? Stick around for 10 minutes".

Regards, Jim
