John,
I didn’t have an upset stomach last night and my sleep was good enough, so now you know that
the Fruit Mania didn’t bother me. I also remember that you brought up yesterday what I wrote in
one of my last E-mails about not having more than two things per day that are caffeinated. I
don’t remember if it was you or Larry who then asked me if that’s because I don’t like too many
caffeinated products. I would like to have more than two per day if I could, but you know that
I’m more likely to have trouble sleeping on the following night if I have too much caffeine in
one day.
I’ll go test drive used cars with you on Thursday afternoon as long as we won’t be driving
any Volkswagens or convertibles and as long as you don’t already have that Nissan before then.
If you do have it in time, we could instead take it for a drive around my neighbourhood on that
day. Please don’t unexpectedly pop in tomorrow to take me for a ride if you have the new car
then.
And if Dianne’s gunna be jealous and make you drive the van some days, then I at least hope
that she’ll let you drive the new car on the days when you come here. You should let her drive
the new car home from the dealership if you buy it tomorrow.
I called my friend, Mac, this afternoon to tell him about my unexpected visit from you last
Saturday after I told you before then that I didn’t have anything new to tell him. He must’ve
already known before I talked to him today that the Jaguar is not a reliable car because after I
told him that I got to sit inside one he then said that he doesn’t want his mom to buy one. I
think that his mom doesn’t really care for Jaguars and just wants to steal the ornament off the
hood.
And my dad’s thinking about going to the Boat Show that’s on next weekend (March 7th
and 8th) at the Tradex in Abbotsford and he asked me to invite Mac to go with him. He’s thinking
about taking Mac and maybe my grandpa seeing how they both seem to walk at the same pace. My dad
thinks that this Boat Show will have more of what he’s looking for, more smaller boats. That’ll
be next weekend, we’ll be busy with my mom’s birthday festivities this weekend. And would you be
able to stay a bit later if you come here this Sunday. That’s her actual birthday and she might
want to go out with my dad for a nice dinner. If you could come at 1PM on that day, we could
make up the time that we didn’t use two Mondays ago (on the 9th) when I had to
cancel.
I hope that you will have the new car in time for Thursday.
