Fortune Cookie

It's been a busy day, with much of it taken up by a meeting of REPS, The Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound. A visit with Merrill Mael's wife, Sandy. Merrill was an early supporter of REPS, and several times recreated his role as Uncle Fletcher from the Vic And Sade Show at our conventions. My wife, Anna, was happy to play the role of Sade opposite. Also at today's meeting there was a bit of a Jack Benny Christmas show, a visit by a Marine sergeant to pick up Toys for Tots, the annual Christmas tape exchange, the monthly meeting raffle (I won a CD with two shows from Our Miss Brooks from 1957), and the annual election. A woman member from Yakima brought us a gift of apples and pears from the fruit basket of Washington state, plus some discarded books on Indians from the Yakima library system. What a haul!

So we decided to have Chinese for dinner at King Wha, a local eatery and very good. Hot and sour soup, prawns and snow peas in lobster sauce, and rice. The fortune cookie said "You will go far, but be sure to come back." I hope so.
