- 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
- vaccumed 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
