I finally went and did it

Howdy. I stopped at the petrol station for a fill up, and that cost a little over $112.00, would be fine to break a hundred were I bowling, huh, but not so good paying for petrol (maybe it is more costly than gasoline?) what is the most you have ever had to pay for gasoline, petrol, whatever. Emily is playing softball at school and she only needed a glove, bat and ball. She seems to like it. Joseph is in the middle of preparing for big kahuna tests coming up in all areas at school, well in all subjects he is currently, supposedly taking,i am sure he is ok. I am less dumb, have less word finding problems these days. Weight about the same. Still not strong like bull, smell like ox, i think. I am discovering some kiwi traits (in kiwis) - they don't put up with my silliness very well - good on them. I think they find no humor in the old saw if a man goes deep into the woods where no one can hear him and softly whispers an opinion is he still wrong? Or, guy staggers into a bar, gets thrown out by bartender; this happens over and over, and on the fourth round he says to the bartender - say, how many of these bars do you own? weather - beautiful mornings, crisp and clear, with nary a cloud on the horizon. New strawberries yummy - a berry nice place nearby. just started selling them. great big, about a kilo (just kidding), did find a fresh turkey we could buy for Thanksgiving - are having some Americanos over, from Carrie's world. Just took my magnesium - recommended by a treater - whoooooeeee, bitter, wish (not really) I could see my face, but am struggling, gagging, straining to get some food in my mouth that will take away the taste. Just shot the (barking) dog with my invisible laser cannon, but apparently missed as no dead silence. Have just started six hundred page plus book, The Children's Book, author A S Byatt, very good writing, and a good story so far. Six hundred pages in the paperback available at my nearest branch library. Wonder if we could add Punday to the work week? There are lots of little birdies flitting around, lots of roses and rhododendrons (sp?) blooming. and we are finally out of the predominantly white time. We have red and pink and pale something. Carrie soilders on, having to put up with googles of bs at work some days - some interesting research ideas written up from some of her students - i believe one had kids followed up from infancy through twenty or forty nine? anyway, not bad, students, good tries, and can tell you have really been thinking about your proposed project. I myself think an applicable word for kiwis is stolid, possibly rule bound, but friendly and nice in large part. We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of the bay of islands, next month. their literature lays claim to that area being subtropical. thank you for taking the time to read/scan this. our best to you and yours.
