Hello everyone, just wanted to let you know that Hobbes is alive and doing well here in Northwest Washington. Just a reminder that E. Hobbes is on an LDS mission... so he can't really chat with you all, but I can! We are enjoying his keen wit and slightly off center personality! He is a great addition to our community, and is working well, and serving his Father in Heaven. If you have any messages, please let me know and I'll pass them on to him. Live well, be happy!

Welcome to Hatrack! Thank you for the good tidings. [Smile]

Please tell him that ketchupqueen says hi and wants to know if he's having trouble finding anything he needs, cooking-wise, or needs any spices sent to him. [Smile]

Oh, and the Post Office apparently lost the first letter I sent him. [Grumble] Please tell him I apologize for not writing another yet, but this morning sickness is screwing up my late nights, which is when I usually sit down and write "real letters". I will try to write again soon.

He says thank you so much, you are very kind... but he still has lots of the wonderful Indian spices that you sent previously. However, people up here eat bear and cougar meat... so if you have any suggestions for that, they would be most appreciated!

He is glad that he is still remembered.... two years is long, but also short... our son is returning from his two year mission in two more days..... it was long, but suddenly, short....all those things we procrastinated doing have now met their deadline, so to speak

I wrote it by hand. I will type the next one for safekeeping!

And I'll look up some wild game recipes for him and send them with the next letter. [Smile]

You could let Hobbes know that another Mooseling is on the way, too. We all miss him and look forward to his return.

Not that it matters, but I would appreciate it if you would tell him that SteveRogers or Captain America, whichever you may prefer, is finding Calvin and Hobbes to be rather boring without Hobbes.

Imagine going 2 years with no internet! That must feel very odd to him. I know he's doing great work on his mission, though.

Welcome to Hatrack, caselko! Tell Hobbes that Shigosei says hello and misses all his long informational posts on bicycling (and other things too).

Please tell Hobbes hello from me and that I miss him. Also, I had a baby 14 weeks early, but she's doing great.

I think they were giggling at the fact that they just assumed that Hobbes is his real name in which case, "Elder Hobbes" would be just fine. [Smile]

Oh yeah, he's on a mission. Where'd he go? Is it stateside? Does he need a package from MTCcookies.com?
