Stephan... JEEEEEZ! Whadda ya think I am - a carpenter or something? <grin> Yo dude... I wouldn't know how to build a boat if my life depended on it! I'm a talented creative artist tho, so all's not lost! Tell ya what, m'dear... I think you can prolly get Ken Becker to build ya that boat. He's very handy I understand, and if you suck up to him alot, well, he'll most likely do the job. <grin> THEN, after Ken builds ya that boat, I'll be happy to embroider and/or needlepoint the sails (maybe put some embroidered motherboards and some attractively displayed serial cables? YOU know.. male-type-things!) <giggling> And I can paint flowers, or software code all over the body of the boat in a neat design! WOWIE!! Is this gonna be one..... uhhhhh... colorful... boat! Say... would ya like a picture of Janet Reno on your boat (like EVERYBODY'D just simply LOVE to have a hand-painted picture of the Attorney General of the US on their boat?) <cackling to self>. That'd kinda add some class to the whole thing...! BOY - am I gonna be BUSY this coming year working on these oh-so-creative projects for my list friends! <VERY big grin> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange On Behalf Of Aaron Schwartz Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 1997 5:15 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: FW: Relief of PD Symptoms/ Barbara Mallut wrote: > Phil, Ken, Dennis, and other PD swimmers.... > I'm SO touched by your proposed swims, respectively, between Cuba and the USA as well as across the English Channel! In your honor, I'm planning - with my own little hands - on knitting each of you a pair of swimming trunks with matching waterwings and your names'll be embroidered on 'em.... To further inspire ya, I'll needlepoint pictures of M.Ali, the Pope, Janet Reno, Billy Graham, and other Parkie luminaries on 'em. Uhhhhh... I'm a very slow knitter and an even slower needlepointer, tho, 'cause of the PD so don't start swimming right away, 'kay? YOUSA! You're gonna all look soooooo cute! Errrr... figure it'll take me...ohhhhh.... about a year to complete the work if I start today.(I SAID I was slow!) <giggle>>>> Barbara: I can't swim, but I wanna' go too! If I send you some 2" x 4" s could you build a boat for all of us? . . . . say, 50 cubits by 300 cubits? Stephan 52/6 [on his son Aaron's e-mail]
