Reply #73: A Postcard from Oscar...

[Shananigans]

Hey all...Oscar is just chillin' next to me in the barn right now, but he has given me some information I thought I would share with ya'll... Due to the exteme cold (it's Minnesota, what can I say) and the language barrier between my poor lil bro and I, I will just summarize.

Oscar loves the patitsa we have been feeding him
He misses the plastic bucket
He is considering piercing his upper lip (but also concerned that they wouldn't have a needle thick enough to pierce his skin)
He has been meditating and practicing his "mental" skills daily

I'm not sure what else to say. I am waiting to hear word from A-Schwartz about when Oscar needs to be back. I am assuming that the project in his attic is still waiting to be finished.

In the meantime, I am curious to ask what type of noises ARE coming from your attic... I remember a time growing up when Oscar decided he build something in our attic. We listened to pounding and sawing for months until finally Oscar was finished. It turned out to be a luxery cruiseliner, but we couldn't seem to get it out of the attic. Sad, sad, time for our family.

Anyways, I hope all is well. Please keep Oscar and the family in your hearts and minds as we endure this cold winter air.
