\nSubject: getting a cold
\n Dear Celeste and Christi,
\nI am coming down qith a cold. I ‘s not terrible but since you have
\nthat commute you can’t afford to be feeling under par. Let me know if
\nyou would like to poatpone it for a day or two.
\nGrandma appears better than she has in a long time. and is very upset
\nthat Dad is selling her car and house and moving her into a home. She
\nis ready to kill Ruby because she says Ruby needlessly exagerated her
\ncondition and caused Dad to panic for nothing.This after calling
\nseveral times a week telling Dad to find her a place. Unfortunately
\nshe doesn’t remember that, and now Dad and Ruby are the bad guys. sigh<\/p>\n

Let me know whether you guys will come today. I thought, since Paul
\nis coming, we could go to Fontana’s. Did you get my Welcome Home
\nemail? Be sure to let me know how your trip was. Did you fight off any
\nmore biker nuns? Love, Mom<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ruby is a relation of my grandma’s. I’m not sure how I’m related to her. Fontanas is an Italian place that we went to every single time I saw my parents after I finally said no more Hunan Palace, which is the place we went to every single time for the three previous years.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: new job
\nDear Celeste ,
\nI’m glad you are changing jobs. If you are unhappy in a
\nplace, raising pay as a bribe to stay on won’t make it any better.
\nWhen do you staet at Netscape? I want to hear about tonight at dinner.
\nYou,ll find Grandma better than she’s been in long time.It’ amazing.
\nPlease excuse errors.
\n I’m
\n typing this without my glasses.
\nIlove you. See you tonight. Love youu, Mom\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Netscape and the doomed-seeming dot com got in a bidding war for me cuz i’m soooo coool. yes.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: thank you
\nDear Christi and Celeste,
\nThank you for coming tonight. It was particularly important to
\nGrandma.Didn’t you think she seemed better than before? Her new home
\n(if she likes it) will be Sunnyvale Retirement Inn, on Remington. It’s
\nacrosss from the Sunnyvale Rec Center, you know, with the park and
\nfountain. It will be very important to visit her frequently, keep
\ncalling her, and invite her out often. so she won’t feel abandoned.
\nThank you also, Christi, for salvaging my computer. I thought I had
\nruined it forever.
\nCongratulations on your new job, celeste.
\nLove, Mom\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and thus I began taking my grandma out for coffee at Cupertino’s Coffee Society once a week, especially since her new residence was near my new job.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: book
\nDear Celeste,
\nMany thanks for the Feminine Mystique. It will make interesting
\nreading.It arrived today.
\nI spent until about midnight last night surfing the net. Thanks,
\nChristi, the computer is working better than ever now. It zips along.
\nNow I’m a cooooooool kitty from Kansas City.
\nlove, mom\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, so I decideed my mom wasn’t liberated enough and sent her a feminist classic from an online bookstore. And I would like to say that my mom was online in ’99, before your mom had even heard of the internet, because my mom was cooler than yours. neener neener.<\/p>\n

\nSubject: feminism
\nTo the World’s Greatest Daughter,
\nThank you for the Internet address for feminist materials. I’m
\nstarting a folder for your incoming emails, to conserve information.
\nYou may have noticed that I have reduced the number of emails sent. I
\ndecided that 3 a day may develop a certain nuisance value, especially
\nsince you were kind enough to reply to all of them. .
\nI have sent an email to Paul, suggesting that, since he and Chuck can
\nboth burp the alphabet, they should have a contest. They would prepare
\nby drinking a carbonated drink. First to vomit is disqualified. So far
\nhe has not responded.(strange, that)
\nI love you , Mom\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

hehehehe. chuck is my uncle: my mother’s brother. Apparently, I was still trying to liberate her. Um, and that’s enough emails for today, yes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
