[@Gunther] There must be some part of it she wants us to know, otherwise why bring it up at all? That's my train of thought in these matters anyway.

On an unrelated note, I find it hard to commit to learning a new skill. I'm on like my 5th try at learning a third language. I got a keyboard as a gift from a friend years ago but didn't get past the basics. I learned a little self defense but I had to move and even though I'm back in town, I haven't gone back. I tried to teach myself photography and drawing, and I'm mediocre at best and my Canon is still in the closet. 

But I stick to writing so there's that.
