Mid February 1990:

From Iowa, Fred wishes me happy Valentines Day and says he ate a whole bag of GUMMI BEARS.

Robert tells me not to worry about Jay's feelings and adds that Jay has been in hospital with an exploded wisdom tooth - suggests that I send him a get well card. I didn't. I must have thought Carl and Fred would enjoy hearing about Jay's tooth troubles and passed this on because several messages later, Carl laughs about the exploded wisdom tooth.

Fred says he is afraid of dentists - relates in detail some bloody, painful dental accidents . Says his parents always looked for the cheapest dentist they could find. I probably told him in return that mine thought novocaine was too expensive. I'm afraid of dentists, too.

Anna and I make plans to go to the Mapplethorpe show

"Hows life today.... I was driving my car
on the FREEWAY, and suddenly discovered I had NO GAS! ," Carl says.

The email I really want to read is on the dusty Apple II disks that are stored in boxes in New Hampshire. I never print out my email.
