A phone call to the Florida son . . .

Virg got out of the shower in sunny Florida this morning in time to check on the newly-opened markets and take a Skype call from his Mom in Minnesota. After a brief exchange about the scientific wonders of today and Virg's high-tech home office array, they discussed alligators sunning themselves on golf courses, the weather, upcoming holiday plans and the possibility of Mom's roast beef sandwich being delivered from Kell Avenue to Virg's Florida home. (Chef Marcia said she'd gladly make him one if he promised to eat it when it got there.) The Skype connection was clear and the pair resolved to make it a regular occasion before ringing off.
