Re: I took my pumpkin to the fair, oh boy!

Hi chris,
	Jayson's address is PO Box 2410 Napa, Calif. 94558....You might write
"pictures enclosed" and "personal" or something on there because I am sure
all his mail goes through a secretary....he is a real character. Supposedly
they are taking us to the French Laundry for dinner. I would settle for a
godfather pizza....I'll keep you posted. If we really go to the French
Laundry I'm quite sure that will be the only time I'll get there in my
lifetime. I hear you need 3 months to get a res. Unless you are Jayson.
	Thanks for the computer info. I feel better now. I'll just rapid resume to
my hearts content.
	Tomorrow we will measure our pumpkins. I sure hope they hold together. It
would be real tough to get beat by Howard. A true lesson in humility.
Howard will measure his on Saturday.
	Let us know what you learn on the leaf. Are you sending a specimen in on
Tuesday? I may have to work alot this week due to my cohort having jury
duty. If I don't have to work all the weekdays I'll drop by the nursery and
look in THE BOOK and ask some of their plant doctors.
	Pete says it was a degree or 2 warmer today than yesterday!!! and more of
the same on the schedule he's seen. Ahhhhh....
	It was great to see you. Cindi and Pete
