I hope that your niece is fresh as the morning dew. (That's how my mom says I should start letters. Only she calls 'em "missives" -- what's that all about?)

They're holding try-outs for the school play next week. They're doing Quest of the Dwarf Wizard. Autumn McDowell is gonna be playing Princess Brooklyn'orm, so if I got to be Aiden'ien I'd get to kiss her! Last time I tried out for a play, though, I had to be the stupid weasel, so it's probably not worth the gamble.

The other day me and Bobby were playing Jai Alai over by the haunted mansion and he said he thought he saw a skeleton. I told him they weren't real, and he got this weird look in his eyes and said "Oh, they're real. They're real, all right. You'll find out soon enough."

Another!
