Jessica Anya,

I LOVED Phyllis! I’m pretty sure you’re right and we never got to see Lars. I’m sure she adored him as a source for material, if nothing else.

Just a correction here:
I just got back from the ship and the price on line was 62 cents a minute!!!!!
As you can imagine, Victor was not about to let me use the internet willy-nilly.

Your Victor story reminds me of the very old Mary Tyler Moore show that was on in the 70s. REmember Phyllis, and how she was always talking about Lars? But we never saw Lars, never knew Lars, only heard Phyllis waxing about Lars. What I can’t remember is this: What did phyllis say about Lars? Did she adore him or was she complaining about him? (And, I know, complaining about someone can be a form of affection, as seems to be the case with you and Victor!)

Glad your amorous night life with Victor is beyond normal! Lucky you.

Jessica Anya,

I would absolutely medicate Victor, if I could figure out how and with what!
He isn’t always grouchy and irritable, no, not at all.
That’s just what sticks in my memory the most.
There’s a lot of amorous. Way more than normal, methinks.
Never any just plain sweet.
Well, hardly ever.

Christine,
You are really good for my ego!
I do’t even know what lulu is.
Gotta get educated here!
Just got back this morning from our trip sliding over the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Not really myself yet.

Yeah. Victor is demented.
I don’t think it’s an age-related change.
He does have different sides, though, there is no question about that!
I never know WHAT will emerge!
(He is lovable, in spite of everything.)

Victor is demented. During the day, his brain can ordinarily control most of what he says or does, but not always. At night, it appears whatever controls are in place relax and the real Victor emerges. However, this is the Victor we love and enjoy. Daytime Victor is mostly boring unless he’s tired or overworked, which doesn’t happen much since his retirement.

Irene you are hysterically funny and I love reading everything you write.
Is Victor ALWAYS grouchy and irritable in his sleep? Is he ever amorous or just plain sweet? Maybe instead of YOU taking medication, you should medicate Victor each night.

I LOVE YOUR STORIES. Seriously, Listi printed a book of his writings on lulu, you should too and I’ll buy it. I’ll buy it and I’ll like it.

Greg,

I have tried everything, seriously, some of the craziest things. I have found that using lots and lots of medicine of several kinds works for me.

I think Steph’s rocking is cute. When it happens, I just hug her and it stops. But since the kids, she rarely does that.

Irene, that’s terrible about the sleep disorders. Maybe there’s some herbs or something like that you can take?

Keiko,
Lenore’s been doing some weird sleep-related things while she’s been here, so I’m not surprised.
I’m really glad she didn’t punch you out while she slept, though!

I also think Lenore has VSD or some version of it. I remember she used to say all sorts of things to me (while asleep) when we shared a room in college. Thankfully, she did not punch me in the face.

Si…mon!

A buddy of yours is prone to do what?
You have to be more specific. People have talked about trillions of things here.

But, if you mean slugging a total stranger on a plane without your brain knowing you are doing it, I want to hear more about it!!!

It’s okay to be late, Simon.
I’ll be MIA for a month cause we have 4 thousand people here for Thanksgiving, which is HUGE here, (do you have it?) Then two hours after the last guest s leave, Victor and I fly out for an 18 day trip. WITHOUT INTERNET ACCESS!
I think I will go into withdrawal!

HA! A buddy of mine is prone towards doing that too.

(Sorry I’m so late, Irene!)
