Busy with the folks...

Dear Nicky,

I'm still in New Hampshire but will be leaving tomorrow. Today I spent the entire day at my parents' place sorting through old comic books, books, and stuff like that. I boxed up all the stuff I wanted, and we tied up and threw out all the old stuff I didn't want, which was mostly 20- and 30-year old copies of Rolling Stone and National Geographic. I saved a couple of books from my childhood that I think you kids might enjoy when you're a little older, along with a box of Tinkertoys. This stuff is mostly for their intrinsic sentimental value more than anything else. I hope Mom doesn't get too mad at me when I bring them all home. I miss you guys a lot and can't wait to see you.

Love,
Dad
