I am writing to you again because I have some concerns. You see, I’ve gotten past the fact that you delivered S’s saxophone during our kitchen remodel, thus distracting her from our work. Yes, at the time I was rather hard on you and I didn’t think I would get over it, but I did.

My mother, a 70 year old West Virgininian, was a Hillary Clinton supporter. She believed all the way to last Thursday that Hillary would somehow end up with the nomination. But that didn’t happen.
