Emma helped me with my homework today. She used a grammar pattern I didn't know. I mentioned this to my teacher tonight and she told me, "You learned that a year ago."

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
