    Had a bedraggled note from Judy Rayford, to the extent that he had LOST my address and had to phone long distance to you in order to get same?   I don't know whether he was angling for some money or not - if so, I did NOT deliver.  He seems the same, if a bit more so - complaining about losing his sex life, et cetera.  But he says he has no pain, only a great inertia, which infects me also, in spite of being driven some hundred or so miles by a comely maiden,  did I send you a card from my daughter's post in the hills?  Aye gawd I meant too. [sic]  It was a great effort, on my part at least, and I appreciate all that went into accomplishing it - the long ride, et cetera.  The getting lost, and having us set straight by a man with a shotgun - out hunting rabbits no doubt?  Or people?  Or things?
   It was good to be back in the SW Va. hills for a change - to eat milkweed pods - my first time, and they were good.  And to play with the dogs - David and Luka, and the cat, Cerras - it was good and too soon over,
