Jack oboy oboy:
 No Christmas to speak ^of - drank too much and fell down and cracked my head open - feel like I knocked some

ribs loose, probably did. Have to see the Doctor tomorrow - oh, me, oh my. Card from Lindenschmidt - he is 73! I had no idea he was old as underline that /underline - feeling his age, he says. Feeling my age too - just every now and then I get to feeling my age - just like that - everybody says oh you're getting older and don't know it - that's it, I'm getting older but underline I /underline don't know it. Hang in there, Jack, hang in there - it's going to be a grand day on the morrow. Well I'm hanging in there just to see what the morrows bring. Remember these oldies of the Art Institute? and that old beer sign I took in Oklahoma? 10 cents a mug? Sixty cents to a dollar a mug around here - and not a large mug like the one in picture. I get MOLSON'S ALE (Canada) from the A & P, and that slakes my thirst. Had a nice note from Ol^afson, got him a deal running an apartment not far from where Lindy lives - hope they can get together - Olafson's address: 123 Lakeshore Drive, Lake Elsinore, CA 92330 - he sent me a postcard pitcher [sic] of the place. Thank goodness it is a bit like winter now - first time in 10 years according to weather experts. I like it. All we need is a snow. small drawing of 3 heads Thanks for card.
