Dear Rudi, Ron and list,

I'll tell him tomorrow that you are back and what you said. He is coming
home on Friday, (huzzah!), so I hope he will be responding in person very
soon.

Best regards,
Ruth

I do so hope! Three and a half weeks is a long time for him to be bored and
me lonely. He is going to get a _very_ fine no-roughage meal on Friday
night.

He and a friend were analyzing the surgeons' names for appropriateness, too,
but I don't know how much he remembers of that. They ended up deciding that
one of the names was just right for a surgeon...

This is fantastic news, Ruth!

But are you sure you're quite ready for Mr. Motor Mouth?  If you need a break,
just send him to check his Lowlands-L mail.

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: As you know, it takes one to know one.
