Hello, sweet -
     Well here it is the day after again - and I sure feel sleepy -  Had a nice trip up last night, and the weather was swell - cold and clear all the way -  Paul slept most of the way -
     Anyway, I hated to get up out of bed at 6:30 this morning - practically froze to death and almost resorted to using an ice-pick to get the ice off my windshield - last night was the coldest in Portland since Jan 25 of last year -
    Went down at noon and paid a few of my creditors off - December was really a bad month for me as far as spending money was concerned, but it was fun - but three weekends within the space of one week was a bit too much - have to get back to normal again -
     Have figured out that I can't wait to see you again - so I'll probably be down the 11th - are you glad - then we can see the opening basketball game with WSC -  also I will bring you back your 10 bucks, if you can wait until then - then you can come up here the 25th and I will go down to Eugene the 8th of Feb, and all the time the days will be getting longer and longer and it will soon be spring and then  ! ----  ------
     My eyes must be a little better - they didn't bother me at all last night and they're all right today - so maybe the treatments are doing some good -
     As soon as I mail this letter I am coming back and go to bed and really sleep, I hope -  and maybe dream a sweet dream or two of you -
                                                                           Love,
                                                                                  Bill
