Hi, April, welcome back.

Roy and I spent some time in Keene and Brattleboro last fall and I  
loved the area then, and I'd never even heard of the nekkid doings at  
the Farmer's Market. I guess after a winter up there once I'd feel the  
need to get sky clad and run around nekkid amongst the veggies too.  
(Although I'd do it in my own garden, I think.) There was one house on  
35 acres literally right outside Keene I was very interested in. The  
wiser Yankee (that would be Roy) he kept muttering things about north  
facing slopes and doom.

I was pitting those little sour cherries and I just used a knife. I  
knew there was probably some gadget but I don't normally do these  
little sour dudes, I just got carried away because they looked so  
good. The paper clip idea is a good one. Not that I have any paper  
clips but I can put Roy on it and I'm sure he'll invent the perfect  
thing. It is so cool to be married to a mad genius.

Brattleboro was in the news a while back as one of those cities who  
have voted to impeach Bush and Cheney. I keep hoping someone will  
forget and take them touring and some Brattleboro local will slip up  
and put cuffs on them.  :  )   Hey, a girl can dream.

Good luck with the massage business.
