Tell you all a bit later when I know more about it. It is going to be huge, in the field of mental disorders and brain skills, I predict.

Predicting those would be quite a feat! I can't wait to hear about it! (and I'm excited for you!)

Them present tenses in English? I assume this is for your school? (BTW, a friend of mind just got a job teaching ESL - English as a Second Language.)

English as a Second Language books are how I earn my bread and butter. The school - I barely break even yet, but we have nearly 100 students this week!

This week is a good one for you then! How many languages do you know, Clary? (or don't you have to know the languages so much as know how to teach?)

Teaching English is OK even if you don't know other languages, but it helps your 'language awareness' if you have studied another one. I have a smattering of Hindi, Cantonese and Spanish, am fairly fluent in French.

French, is a language in which I am not fluent. My Spanish is better, but definitely not perfect. Where did you learn? I assume you went to college?

College french courses can be interesting. Unless you inadvertently sign up for the business translation stream.

Been busy with my new best friend. Apparently, I can run better than her mother. Very Happy Laughing Very Happy

Mother runs? What does she run for, exactly?

Exactly is not a description of running, normally, is it? In my case, inexactly would be more appropriate.

Appropriate it is not for you to put yourself down so, Clary. You are not one foot in the grave at all, and I'll bet that you can run just fine.

Fine is just what our friend Clary is! I know people younger who don't do half as much!

Much to do and many to meet is one of my philosophies on life. There is no such thing as 'too busy!'

'Busy is as busy does' to paraphrase Forrest Gump!
I like to be busy too.

Too much business in your life can be interpreted as a lot of excitement. It depends on your outlook..

Outlook often affects perception. Sometimes, when I am very busy, I feel exhilarated. At other times I just feel stressed out and overwhelmed. It depends on whether I see the tasks before me as a challenge or as a burden.

Burden it is to read 'War and peace.' It takes three months of carrying it around to finish it, at the end of which you will have truly wrecked your back.
