Hi Toots:
I don’t know just why, but nothing seems right without you.
Boy, what a week-end! I went ice skating Saturday afternoon and got picked up by a set of 8 yr old twins. Had more fun skating with them. They got a kick out of riding on my shoulder.
Saturday evening was also spent skating. When everyone else ordered a beer, I was a good boy and got a milkshake. I also got a swell case of food poisoning, heaving all over the place from then until last night. I’ve had a bowl of soup, glass of milk, and a grapefruit since Saturday night. Just got back from the hospital where they checked me over and verified my food poisoning analysis.
I sure was the life of the party on the picnic I attended Sunday. Between finding quiet corners in which to sleep, and tossing my cookies, I must have been wonderful company.
Well, more later. From now on, I drink beer and no milkshakes.
Your baby, Cy.
