[il-talk] quick brag

Leslie,
  Keep up the cooking adventures and congradulations on acquiring a new 
cello student!
                                                                             
    Fondly,

> wait for it to heat up, open it up, dump the fries in, and close it again.

> fluffy on the inside.  The third thing that happened today was that Andy,
> Michael, and I had a nice afternoon at one of the water parks near our
> house.  I find that even when I go to the pool or a water park, I'm more
> secure having my cane with me.  A perfect example happened when Andy and
> Michael went off to the other side of the water park and hadn't come back
> yet.  I asked one of the lifeguards where they might have gone. After she
> told me where they went, I was able to get there confidently and with good
> verbal directions, of course.  It had turned out that Andy was just
> finishing up putting more sunscreen on Michael so that was why they hadn't
> come back yet.  Had I not had my cane with me, I would have been stuck
> wondering and would have been unable to find them myself.  Just another
> reason why knowing how to use the cane is so important.  So that's it for
> now.  Take care and I hope everyone is staying cool from the heat.
