Yesterday, Matt and David, the latest casualties to the Carmen Flu, stayed downstairs while I tried to keep the house going. Both of us were struggling with our voices and coughs, so around lunchtime I sent Matt an e-mail. I knew he would be at the computer trying to get some work done. “Need anything?” I wrote. “Going to bring down lunch soon.”
Matt quickly shot back
According to David, we need:
- Some treaded tracks to stick under his red excavator in the green stuff.
- A covered canopy for his red excavator
- A welding torch to connect it all together
Next time I’ll be more specific.

Sorry to hear that you all have been “under the weather” for so long.

We’re on the mend! (David says you can come to our house and look at our excavator, and eat a green bean from our garden, and see the big hole that he made. What tokens of friendship!)
