I will say that after all these many years of not knowing you, at all, I'm happy to renew contact.

I even cheated on the PSAT's, and when I went to the U of Chicago interview and they asked why my SAT's were so much lower in math I told them,"Because Mary Lieberman sat in front of me in high school and I copied from his tests." It was a risky thing to do, but, by then, I didn't want to cheat any more. They let me in. <br />When I was raising my kids I told them to go ahead and cheat and lie and find out all about it.Experiment with what happens. Its messy, and a burden. I prefer the burden of my own dreams. Good, bad, failed, beautiful - my voice is my own. <br />Jill Jill Littlewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024504011015699126noreply@blogger.com
