Christmas 2000

I imagine that you are awaiting an update on the state of our washer and dryer. As you recall, last year I experienced a pang of concern over the possibility that Christi and I would move to separate places and that we would have to divide the mismatched pair. Fortune smiled on us and we both moved to Utah and continued to room together. The odd-couple pair was enabled to remain together for another year. Fortune continues to be our friend as both the washer and dryer continued to function. The dryer has begun to make a faint grinding sound, and the washer continues to sound somewhat like a helicopter preparing for take-off, but if we shut the louvered door to the laundry closet, we hardly hear them. OK, so techinically, they are still quite loud, but we pretend that the laundry closet is made of sound dampening materials.
