Hi Russ,
How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling better. Do you like jokes? If you do I have some that will cheer you up. Here's a joke, What are the three fastest ways of sending a telegram. I'll let you figger that one out but the next one I'll give you the answer. Why is a river richer than you because it has two banks.
I am on the Dodgers a baseball team and we are in first place, We didn't lose a game yet and we have six wins.
When I went to tryouts I kept on saying I woulding make it but the next day

when I look in the newspaper I turned to the sports page and I looked under the Dodgers. My name was the last one on the list. Then I jumped up, and said I made it I kept on saying that. I was so happy. Then I went out doors to play baseball with my friends and we had fun.
Your friend
