October 28 Dear folks, 1500 calories a day -- seems to me Georgette and I were trying about that, tho' she was nearer 1400. If you know scientifically what you are doing, you can bear the situation better: it was actually that which stopped my over-indulgence; we used [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] at every meal to dissect the menu. Have fun, Dad! Really not a speck of news. Annabelle Handy (Evy Major, to be writer; small, perfectly formed in face & figure, & very self-sufficient) & I were composing our Comp Lit papers in the smoker all evening, with Hannah trying to study upholstery of the 19thC beside us -- but our creative impulses were irrepressible, & we kept throwing our [[strikethrough]] ideas [[/strikethrough]] sentence structures & profundities back and forth until we were both done, about midnight, [[strikethrough]] once [[/strikethrough]] & were interrupted by a fire drill. Fun. Just work I have being doing,
