Me too! Language can be a set of prickly bushes we have to run though. I really liked your story about your dad. My family wanted me to go to medical school also. It's unfortunate when a slow growing plant is not given the proper time to grow. Why are parents in such a hurry!

You are always welcome. I just got back from traveling and have severe jet lag. I couldn't bring myself to get here to respond to you until now. However--thank-you for your kind comment.
