Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Did you do anything fun? Travel anywhere distant? In your last email you said you ride a bike called a recumbent. I have to say that it is a very strange bike.

To my surprise there was. The person reading it read the story

I found this article interesting‚ due to the fact of the father’s response when his daughter made plans to go to college for writing (English). He enjoyed the fact that she wanted to go to college‚ but his reasons differed from hers. He though going to college would help her find a husband‚ not pursue a degree.
