FW: Hi from Rochester, 6/22/2003


It has been a very quiet week here without Zack and his active crew around
to stir things up. I got the house vacumed and mopped and it actually
stayed clean this week :)

Laurie picked up Panther (a black cat) a few days ago and says he is
adapting well to her apartment (except for the first night). This is the
cat Zack sneakily brought home from Mike & Tracy's last summer. He figured
he could get away with an un-announced pet since we were so glad to see him
(he was right). In one of (his many) fits of cash shortages, he sold
Panther to Laurie last Fall, figuring he could still enjoy the cat, but not
be as responsible for him. He couldn't really afford him anyway, not and
play an occasional game of paintball at the same time. Nick and I are not
real cat fans, so were not sad to see him go.

So last month he cons us into hosting ANOTHER cat, but just for the summer,
hereby know as the brown cat. This was to give Panther a playmate. Now
it looks like the original owner will not want brown cat back, so now Zach
gets to find it a new home. If he hasn't found one by the end of the summer
I figure the cat can have his room and he can sleep in the back yard.

We got Zach's grades, but we promised not to open them till he gets back.
On Zach's last day here last week I lent him the use of the white car on the
condition that he drop us a post card. He did even beter ... got this email
from him last night:
