April Fool's, 2007...

Dear Nicky,

Mom seems to think you're feeling better now that you've been on antibiotics for a few days now due to your finger. The medicine seems to have cleared up your nose a little, but one can never tell. But you do seem more eager to eat. Today was the day after your birthday party. You made out well with all the presents you got. Today was also junk day here in New Providence and so I took a lot of stuff out this afternoon. There was that filthy cabinet in the upstairs hall bathroom that I replaced last weekend, some planters from storage, a bunch of junked up toys that now longer work or you've outgrown, stuff like that. So actually, there was no fooling around today, we were thorough about cleaning up.

Love,
Dad
