To My Darling Husband
To my darling Husband,
I am sending you this e-mail from a bogus software
company address 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 but yours was excellent! The chair and the
back of your head are very realistic. You would 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 her on her birthday. What a grand day for Jen, despite the
fact that it was stormy and the electricity was out.
I am also doing well. I went blonde about a year
ago and was delighted to discover that it really is more
fun! Lars, I mean Mr. Swenson, the department head, has taken
an interest in my career and has become a good friend to us all.
I have discovered that the household chores are
much easier since I realized that you don't mind being vacuumed
but that feather dusting made you sneeze. The house is in good
shape. I had the living room painted last Spring. I'm not sure
if you noticed it. I made sure the painters cut air holes in the
drop cloth so you wouldn't be disturbed.
Well, my dear, I must be going. Uncle Lars, Mr.
Swenson, I mean, is taking us all on a ski trip and there will
be 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 meals to your desk, just the way you like it. I
hope you and the PC have a lovely time while we are gone.
Tommy, Jen and I will think of you often. Try to
remember us while your disks are booting.
Love, Mary
(Your Wife)
