IF ONE MORE MOTHER CALLS ME AND ASKS IF THIER SON CAN COME HERE TO DO HIS SENIOR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM OF 40 HOURS-- WHICH BY THE WAY HE NEEDS TO GRADUATE IN JUNE- AND HE WILL BE AWAY THIS WEEK--- SO HE CAN'T COME AND MEET YOU BECAUSE HE IS GONG TO VISIT A FRIEND IN WASHINGTON DC...----, BUT HE IS CHARMING AND VREY RESPONSIBLE, AND I AM SURE YOU WILL BE DELIGHTED TO HAVE HIS HELP.
MEANWHILE I AM THINKING -- IF HE IS RESPONSIBLE THEY WHY ARE YOU THE ONE ON THE PHONE... WHY DID HE NOT GET IN TOUCH SOONER--- AND IF IT IS THAT CRITICAL WHY CAN'T HE COME THIS WEEK FOR AN INTERVIEW.
SO....... OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAM-- ABOUT WHICH ANNE HAS DESCRIBED IN GLOWING DETAILS... LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT REALLY HAS BOILED DOWN TO.... WE HAVE 6 KIDS -- BEEN THRU PRIMARY COURSE HERE AT THE COLLEGE OF HARD KNOCKS...EXTREMELY VALUABLE-- WORTH PAYING AS MUCH AS WE CAN.... MOST ARE ALREADY ON THE PAYROLL FOR A DAY OR TWO A MONTH NOW....
I HAVE AN EDUCATIONAL COURSE DESIGNED FOR THEM FOR THE SUMMER-- I EVEN MADE A LIST-- THEY KNOW 84% OF THE BASICS AROUND HERE. AND THEN THERE ARE THINGS ... THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT THEY DO NOT LEARN... LIKE HOW TO SPLICE TEH END OF A ROPE... BUT THEN THERE ARE ANOTEHR 6 KIDS-- STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL-- WHO HAD THEIR MOTHERS CALL AND ASK ... NO... TELL ME HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE THE HELP OF THIER CHILD FOR 40 HOURS.. WHILE I AM THINKING IT IS GOIN G TO TAKE CONSIDERABLE EFFORT ON MY PART TO EVEN TRY AND KEEP THEM FROM DOING DAMMAGE AROIUND HERE. I CAN GUARENTEE.. THEY ARE GOING TO WORK... AND BE ON TIME... I WILL ALSO GIVE TEHM ALL A HUNK OF ROPE TO LEARN TO SPLICE, WITH THE PROVISION THAT THEY THEN SPLICE ON IN FRONT OF ME... NOT SHOW UP WITH ONE SPLICED--- THERE IS A 4 X 4 ON TEH GROUND INFRONT OF THE ICU HOUSE... BEEN THERE FOR MONTSH...WE COULD USE THAT FOR PRACTICE NAIL HAMMERING....THE FACT THAT THEY CAN NAME THE GREAT LAKES MAY WORK IN SCHOOL, BUT THAT DOES NOT EVEN COME UP IN NORMAL ADULT CONVERSATION TOO OFTEN... SO WHY IS IT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL?
******
MOVING ON TO POLAND...- IT LOOKS LIKE TEH PUP.... MATT.... WILL BECOMING TO SDP SOMEHOW... I HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO DO TO BRING THAT ABOUT.... IDEALLY... THIS WILL CLOSE A GENE GAP IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM... AND MAYBE EVEN USE HIM A S STUDD FOR OTHERS..

WE DO HAVE A BIG PILE OF SAND-- BUT TOM IS NOT DUE HERE TIL NOON..THAT LEAVES ME AS TRACTOR DRIVER..
