Emails

I just can't get into FB! I like getting emails through FB but I don't really have time nor inclination to "hang" with it. Email, I do like. A big mode of communication I have come to appreciate. My son, Luke, and I have exchanged a few over the course of our educations. Here are a couple of "communications" that warm my heart.

I got my final back today, 245 / 250! I attache the final copy in case you care to read (hopefully I was able to clarify areas that were vague).
Thanks for the editing help.

Also, this is my first block of classes where I got an A in each class!

Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to a little break from school...

You are so welcome! I was so intrigued by your paper so it made reading easy. I must say it is so wonderful to see you using that fabulous brain of yours in a way that makes you excited about learning. I know school can be tough but you have such a great attitude. Congrats on the all A's! Working full time, being a husband and a father all while going to school will only make you stronger as a person. Your father and I are so proud of you. Enjoy your well deserved break. I know I am.
Love,
Mom

On the funny side:

Ola Madre,

Your paper was very interesting to read, unfortunately, I could not see the pictures because you use a *cough*cough* crapintosh. It appears as though the files you are using are TIFF formats which are very large in file-size (making your paper almost 10MB in size, way bigger than it should be). I'll do some research and see if I can find you a free program that will compress your images into JPG files which will cut the overall size of the file by 80% and make it readable by just about any word-document-reader. Other than not being able to see any images (except the papers written by children), I thoroughly enjoyed your paper!

Oh my dear son,

Aside from the ever-so-not-veiled reference to my computer, I agree I need to learn more. I've already learned that jpeg is much smaller than a pdf. I used the picture of Orin looking at you right after his birth for my page eight! I got a perfect score because the info was good but I intended to work that picture in no matter what. You were not raised to be prejudice, did an apple smack you in the head?
Love,
Mom


Luke wrote back that, no, he was not raised to be prejudice nor was he raised to accept some foolish media something or other. It was well said. Don't have it in my files. Wish I did. email, go figure.
