Note left on kitchen table, November 1997:

Mother,

Please sign this OOPS! I Forgot My Homework slip.

I have to take it back to school.

I think Mrs. Davidson is not telling the truth on that P.S. that says

"This makes the 83rd time this month"

Love,

Buddy

Mother,

I got a 94% and an "Excellent Paper, Nate" on

the Rousseau/Montessori paper that I wrote on while we

were on vacation in New Orleans.

Love,

Buddy

Sometimes things really do figure themselves out.

Keep the faith.
