Hi Cutie!

Wanda,

It's me again. Did you miss me? *wink* Actually, this second connection is just as noisy as the first... but I'll just tough it out. The problem is that if there is line noise then it messes up your words and you have to keep hitting the backspace key to correct them. Very frustrating. But far be it for WSU to get QUALITY equipment in their lab! *groan*

Anyway, it was great talking with you tonight. I had to laugh when you said "see, I told you there was no privacy at the desk!" I thought the TWO PEOPLE STANDING THERE might take offense at that... however, much to my surprise, they not only took no offense, they didn't get the HINT! It was rather blatant, I thought, but then people can be rather obtuse at times.

As to vocabulary: worry not. I sometimes write rather oddly, at other times mi speling is not grate. Sometimes words me puts wrong in place and grammar my is not always good. *laugh*

I have a dictionary here by my computer. The reason: I often want to use words but am unsure if they are the correct ones. Therefore, I keep a dictionary close by in order to check them to insure accuracy. Over the summer I work on a computer that has a built-in dictionary, so it makes it MUCH easier to write.

Hmmm... the computer just logged me out of my email message... it's REALLY bad this evening... worse than usual. When you dial up to the computer from a remote phone you sometimes encounter problems. Tonight it seems especially bad.

Anyway, I digress. Sometimes it's nice to just et a quick note from someone, but I do agree that it's far better to get a "real" letter from them. Sometimes, you'll find, I tend to ramble... just ignore it.

Well, I have to get to bed soon... I have a full day of work tomorrow in Salt Lake. I'll see you Sunday at 5:00 and we'll head up to our favorite spot for dinner. If you'd like, I can call my BEST FRIENDS in the whole world: Mike Nollar and his girlfriend Nancy and we could go hiking with them next Saturday to waterfall canyon. Let me know if this appeals to you. Otherwise we'll try something else.

I like having you come over here... but I don't want to bore you. You see my FAVORITE thing in the whole world to do is watch movies. I've been addicted to them all my life. They held a certain escapist quality for me in my youth and I revert to that when things get tough or confusing in life. So, if left to my own designs, I would like nothing more than to watch movies. Well, and WIND SURF, but being as I do not have my own equipment - I seldom have the chance to go.

Well, having said that, perhaps I should ask you a question or two.
1. Do you feel nervous around me? If so, then why?
2. The other evening, in response to Jenn's statement that she was getting married, and was very excited about that, you said: "he (Eric) certainly knows how to make a girl happy." What did that mean?
3. What was the most embarrassing moment in your life?
4. What is your favorite dessert?

Well, that's all the questions for now... time to retire for the evening. I'm looking forward to seeing you on Sunday and until then, thoughts of you will buoy my spirits.

- Robert. =)

PS There is something I need to warn you about... there are certain things I will never say first. Not a vow *wink* but something I never do or will do. Ask me Sunday, if you wish, and I'll explain. Ta ta!
