    Good observation! I'll definitely be needing a helmet. Maybe a lance too?

    I hope you get good enough to take it off some jumps. Your kids must be thrilled.

    Very possibly. I'm graduating in the Spring with a bachelor's in psychology. What else is available to me?

    Oh man, good luck with the uni! And did you know I'm a former UC student? Did some BA (English) and MA (Fiction) there, yeppers.
