Instant messaging with my 8 year old daughter

The following is a transcript of some instant messaging between me and my eight year old daughter. She spent the spring-break week with relatives in Pennsylvania and NJ. Note: Commentary will be in Green. Also, I have rearranged some of the order since new questions often come before a reply to a previous question.
Veena says: Hi daddy
Veena says: this is renny
Young Turk says: I figured that out.
Venna is the name of the aunt in NJ Surenna was staying with.

Young Turk says: Hi honey
About "Young Turk" the author's wife and I often change our display name in concert with whatever topic we happen to be 'on'. So, I had just purchased a bunch of Rod Stewart songs and I included (I don't know why!) Young Turks and Vaish gave me hell for it. Hence the display name. (Actually, I think my reasoning was that Young Turks in some ways is such a prototypical Rod Stewart song--even though it is not very good and he does have lots of good songs. Here is what I got that day.

Young Turk says: How are you doing there with veenpachi?
Veena says: good i'm doing fine Young Turk says: I miss you.
Veena says: so are there tears in your eyes
Young Turk says: I only cry when there is nobody around to see me. Never at work. Silly.
Veena says: oh god!
Young Turk says: But, I do miss you even if I am not crying about it.
Veena says: iwas talking to mommy a while ago
Young Turk says: She is working from home today.
Young Turk says: Did she say anything interesting?
Veena says: no
Veena says: Mamuma is taking good care of me
Young Turk says: Okay, good.
Veena says: why did you say that/
Young Turk says: I am glad that Mamuma is taking good care of you.

Veena says: no Veena says: i went to the park for 20 minutes and then it started to rain Wild Turkey says: Oh, thats too bad! Wild Turkey says: Wild Turkey says: I just got back from running. The weather is beautiful here. specchia says: what are you talking about?i just got on the computer Wild Turkey says: i went to the park for 20 minutes and then it started to rain specchia says: no i did Wild Turkey says: I know Wild Turkey says: I was just reminding you of your earlier message. specchia says: oh you where just kidding specchia says: not Wild Turkey says: No specchia says: are you still at work? Wild Turkey says: Yes, I am at work untill 6:00 Wild Turkey says: It is nice here in Billerica. specchia says: you work in Billerica?

Wild Turkey says: On the phone now. talktome says: ok talktome says: off yet

Here Erik (Swiss) and me starting the Groton 2005 10 K road race. (He is in the olive-drab tee-shirt and shades) Erik is called Swiss because his last name (Marchese) is sometimes mispronounced mar-cheese-ee, hence swiss-cheese or just swiss. The actual pronounciation is mar-kay-zee. He is an old affy buddy and we get toghether from time to time. He is responsible for encouraging me to enter the Groton run the first time in 2003. 

This is how I finished this year (2005) 46th out of 100 for my age group (40-49) with a time of 49:30. I didn't run in 2004 because I was looking for a job at the time and paying to run a race seemed silly. 

This is how I looked in 2003 when I finished in 51:14. and 67th out of 117 in my age bracket
