Dear Joseph and Lucia,

I’ve decided to stay in Oklahoma for the weekend. I don’t want to be on the highways during the coming storms. We are expecting violent thunder storms every evening through Sunday.  Not good driving weather. Besides, it will give me a chance to come into work Saturday morning and run a few experiments I can’t do during normal work hours.

As always, I’m thinking about you two and miss you. This weekend will be double since I won’t have Michèle by my side. This weekend is mother’s day, so be sweet to your mom on Sunday.

And as usual, I’ll be here waiting to hear from you.

Love,
Dad
