Over the years I have given my wife many little handwritten stories, they are usually accompanied by characters, all of them were written in one continuous stream of consciousness. Enjoy. -JR

Hello Nadine. How are you? Would you like to hear about my accident, cause it’s a great story. So I was buying cantaloupes, and you gotta be careful to pick a good one. OF COURSE! And I find the perfect one, a real beauty, I almost just ate it there and then, but I didn’t have a knife (I almost forgot the K) What a mess. But ANYWAY, I’m Buyin the “Lope” and I give the guy a few quarters and he says it’s buy one get one and I said “Oh Boy”. So after I find what some would consider an even better lope, he rings me up, turns out again, second turns out of the story. I feel they make a story sound more like a suprise. But it turns out the cashier knows me. Well duh I used to work there! So I say Teddy, Thank you, and he says “Uh-huh” I never liked him. But the real reason I hurt my hand has nothing to do with Teddy. Dummy. It was cause I get into my car and as my door was open, a very upset woman slammed into it, crushed my hand and both the lopes, Jesus! I said think about that. Two good, no great lopes, gone, and my hand looks silly too!
