Wed. Sept 18 I'm Out

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delayed post. I've been in an accident while riding my bike over the weekend. I'm alive, and each day seems a little better than the previous. I'm sorry I can't be there with you now, as I would rather be learning with you than lying in bed all day.
 As of now the Dr. wants me to be out for at least 2 weeks, so the earliest I am allowed to return is late September. I'm really glad you have Tova there, be good to her, she deserves it. You can text, call or email if you like.

Enjoy learning!
