Earache...

Dear Nicky,

This evening I have an earache. I've had a cough for a few days, preceded by a stuffy nose. Perhaps now I have an ear infection. Haven't had one of those for a long time. I envy your ear tubes, my friend. I made you some steak for dinner, then Mom put you to bed while I went to the library for a while. Tomorrow is Wicked Wednesday so I better go to sleep.

Love,
Dad
