TO MY DARLING HUSBAND,


I am sending you this letter via this BBS communications thing, so that
you will be sure to read it.  Please forgive the deception, but I
thought you should know what has been going on at home since your
computer entered our lives TWO YEARS AGO.  The children are doing well.
Tommy is seven now and is a bright, handsome boy.  He has developed
quite an interest in the arts.  He drew a family portrait for a school
project, all the figures were good, and the back of your head is very
realistic.  You should be very proud of him.

Little Jennifer turned three in September.  She looks a lot like you
did at that age.  She is an attractive child and quite smart.  She
still remembers that you spent the whole afternoon with us on her
birthday.  What a grand day for Jenny, despite the fact that it was
stormy and the electricity was out.

I am doing well.  I went blonde about a year ago, and discovered that
it really is more fun!  George, I mean, Mr.  Wilson the department
head, has uh, taken an interest in my career and has become a good
friend to us all.

I discovered that the household chores are much easier since I realized
that you didn't mind being vacuumed but that feather dusting made you
sneeze.  The house is in good shape.  I had the living room painted
last spring; I'm sure you noticed it.  I made sure that the painters
cut holes in the drop sheet so you wouldn't be disturbed.

Well, my dear, I must be going.  Uncle George, uh, Mr.  Wilson, I mean,
is taking us all on a ski trip and there is packing to do.  I have
hired a housekeeper to take care of things while we are away, she'll
keep things in order, fill your coffee cup and bring your meals to your
desk, just the way you like it.  I hope you and the computer will have
a lovely time while we are gone.  Tommy, Jenny and I will think of you
often.  Try to remember us while your disks are booting.

Love, Karen
