My name is Alan Johnson and I am addicted to the computer. How did this happen?
Two years ago, our friend Skipp, a mysterious car collector, gave us a computer. Until now, it sat here collecting dust and preventing the desk from floating away. We had no clue how to get started.
Earlier today a strange looking couple driving a PT Cruiser pulled into our driveway here in Beyond Hope, NJ. It's 3 hours later. Judy and I are now high tech computer geeks. While we sit here playing on-line, Steve is emptying our refrigerater.
Seriously...this is all new to us. Allow 3-6 weeks for e-mail replies as I really suck at typing.

Hey Alan and Judy!
It is great to see you two finally come to town, living out in the boonies like you all do... Gees... a computer on your desk! It made such a lovely doorstop, too!
I sure wish that there was nothing going on this weekend. I will have to bide my time 'til there is nothing going on again.
Have a great one!

Yehaw!! Welcome to the Eighties Just pretend the keyboard is an "Alan Johnson" outliner and the mouse is a 00 Mack Stripper! You will do just fine. Wish you could have made my "Duck Soup Splatter Jam" in September. Check out the "Past Meets" section of the Letterville News on the Left of the screen. Bobbie says HAAAAAAAY

Alan & Judy, OH MY GOD! I can't believe what I'm reading - this can't be the AJ I know! See, computers aren't as evil as you thought. I know why it will take so long for you to respond, you've got to be using the keyboard Bruce is talking about! Glad to see you guys here. Karen

Hey Alan, when Spider and I came to your place the keyboard was a doormat into your shop. I see you brought it in. You will be a wonderful addition to Letterville. Hope to see you soon. Thanks for the Pictures, I past one onto Spider.

Who are you???!!! And what have you done to AJ??!!
AJ has the keyboard on the doorstep so he can type with his feet while he uses his hands to do something really useful, like striping! All kidding aside, good to see you here. At last!
No Problem. There's Nothing We Can Do.

Alan and Judy, it is about time. Sooner or later we all have to give in. It will be great to have you available on the computer. The picture of you both is really good. Steve and Barb are probably the only ones who could get you to take the plunge, and they had to come all the way from Canada to do it.

Welcome to the hood! No that you've shown hospitality to Shortreed's, they'll sure extend it to you on this board. You might even find the computer usefull on rare occassion at assisting in the production of a sign!

The accomadations at Al and Judy's home wonderful. Over the last day we enjoyed a pasta dinner, a viewing of pal Skip's car collection, a tour of the AJ Grafix shop and a ride in Al's hotrod. Too cool!
We left later than we planned and decided to stop off back at the Timmerman homestead. Our original destination was Mike and Shirley Boones's home, but it just got dark and we're out of gas. Our bodies...not the PT.
Tomorrow we're off to see the Boones and then back to Ontario. It's been a wonderful trip. Thanks to Bruce and Dana, Bob and Anne, Keith and Chris Peterson, and Al and Judy for opening their hearts and homes to us.
