* \' D& G( e7 c' z" z2 ZDear Vincent,
# g3 c+ h! K- y# x% TI am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
