Thank you very much for your protracted visit, for your patience in listening
to me, for your silence, and for your summary description of my personality,
an accounting which I believe to be valid and which I take to heart. I 
anticipate with pleasure your visit tomorrow afternoon.

I feel better; I have finally had something to eat: a cup of tomato soup
with two slices of toast, a cup of coffee, a small glass of Riesling,
and a slice of cake. Now I will get back to computer programming, and tomorrow
morning I shall buy groceries. Sleep well.
