Don't know what that means.

An email I recently received, interspersed with my own initial thoughts as I read it:


Thanks for the information. I'm a retired high school English teacher with thirty year's (years') experience working with adolescents. Actually, I was awarded Teacher of the Year by Betelgeuse School District in 1992... a while ago. Divorced seven year's ago, (Multiple ellipsis and "divorced seven year's ago"? I think this gentleman taught English to many of the other people I've received emails from.) I have three adult sons that are basically on their own (one lives in Russia) ("Basically" on his own - maybe this son lives in Russia with his mom. A lot of adults in Russia do that.) so I've had that experience as well... meaning the dynamic of single parenthood etc. I have a lot of spare time so I am curious about your program. I think I have three traffic tickets over about the last five years.... don't know what that means. (That means, sir, that you are not a perfect driver, nor are you very good at avoiding detection by law enforcement. Neither am I.) I'm an artist and would enjoy working with kids with art. (Does he mean kids that own art? I hope not, because those are hard to come by.) Do you have volunteers who teach classes? I'm not sure about the full year's commitment as I've planned on maybe traveling (He should go to Russia.) but I'm not sure about that either. Actually, I would like to maybe visit your facility and speak with someone in person. Thanks

This guy seems like a good guy, right? I'm going to give him a call. And I am being serious about that. We've had some fun with a few jokes, but now seriously I am going to call him.
