New look, new cellphone


News from Knox Ave, Minneapolis
Our daughter Marcy writes:

In a sudden spurt of growing up, 13-year-old Maxwell Tong got glasses and a new cell phone within the same hour.

His mother, Marcelline, likes the glasses Max picked out last week but never imagined they would be picked up in the same hour that he received his first cell phone (via Dad).

Says Marcelline: "He was telling me not to use up his minutes even before the cellphone was charged. I informed him that communicating with his parents was the purpose of the phone."

As for the glasses... Marcelline thinks he does look rather charming in the glasses, but his goal is apparently not to charm, but to "look smarter".

All for now. It's very cold up here and the forecast for the weekend is bitter. Hope Tucson is as pleasant as we imagine.

Love,
Marcelline and Max
