the end (of summer) is near
























Hello.
Ate a giant-sized ear of corn just now. Is it just me, or is that an item that should be eaten strictly in private? (These 3 pix r not of corn, 4 those of u who r confused, like i am.)
And speaking of corn, have u seen my pencil holder? And, once again speaking of corn, Pinky, i'm getting u this. But enough of this corn talk. Corn's not 4 everybody!

Hello.
Well, we r actually doing it. Or starting 2 do it, is maybe more like it.

The online version will allow readers, 4 the first time, to see the original "artwork". Honk honk!!!!

clouds of glory























Hello
.
I may have asked u this b4, but, does one of u have a Playette recording -- in any 4mat -- of SUSPICIOUS MINDS that u could copy and send us? See what i mean about this question having a familiar ring 2 it? Ol' ACC has a vague pseudo-memory that one of u actually sent us a copy awhile back but, uh, we dont remember. If that was u, could u send us another please?
So, summer is winding down, but that's not stopping him, or her.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy being afraid of getting what i thought i wanted.
