made dinner last night for preetham. catfish, and salad, bread and wine. small and simple. he liked i think. the salad had romaine lettuce, strawberries, walnuts and almonds and crubled cheese with a vinaigrette dressing and black bean and pepper bread.

mom and dad are retuning from chicago today. they went to visit gautham and are just going on vacation. dad drove 6 and a half hours to get there! i hope that they are enjoying themselves. they will probably go to devon 'india' street, and have very good indian food.

by the way, deepu mentioned the other night that he doesn't hear from mom and dad very much these days. he thought that they must be very busy these days to not call india or net message anyone...crazy and all the kids had to move out before mom and dad got a busier lifestyle...or it could be, (more realistically), that it's cause preeth took the computer to his house, and preeth has not fixed my old computer,the one i left at mom and dad's. we also need to show them how it all works too!
