[Magdalen] We'll See (I hope)

[Jim Guthrie]

Thanks -- got through the NY Times today -- I have about 6 days and umpteen Book 
Review sections to catch up on.

I am finding I'm seeing better with the glasses )Bifocals) further down my nose, 
which indicates the prescription might not be quite right.

Cheers,
Jim
