- Well, I suppose I must admit that I tend to think about making food
- when I'm hungry, but if someone else is hungry, she's can always let
- me know (for that matter, technically speaking, I'm not the only
- person who can cook--though I'm generally happy to do the cooking if
- provided with a suggestion or sufficient hint).

- Hi, Pooh! (Well, as long as they don't have dead animals in them--in
- which case you're on your own, and I'll just have to try to create
- some new favorite foods for you.)

- I dunno, Ed; I haven't figured this one out myself--despite not being
- incredibly neat, I don't think I've ever dated anyone who was not an
- order of magnitude or more messier than I (I've had to clean up a two-
- week's supply of pots and dishes to be able to find a girlfriend's
- sink and stove more than a few times--right now I think I might settle
- for someone who would just refill ice trays).
-
- The whole laundry thing is worrying me too--when I got out of surgery
- two months ago, my mother offered to do my laundry for me (probably
- the first time someone other than me has done my laundry since I was
- seven or so) and, since this included things like my Santa Claus suit,
- assorted colored t-shirts, and the like, I now have an entire set of
- greyish-pink (nee white) towels. At least I'm glad that I removed the
- hand grenades and bandolier of 50-caliber machine gun shells from the
- Santa suit first--those could have been awfully tough on the drier.
-
- Trygve (Of course I suppose I could always just refinish the bathroom
- on off-mauve....)
