ideals and ideas

My sister is, at this very moment, in the air somewhere on her way to Paris for a week. If I could have afforded the airfare and taken the time off, I would be going too. I worry a little about her because the reason she wanted me to go is that I speak French and she doesn't. She'll get by, of course. ( France, cut because this is getting long )

( Age, also cut, mostly because it consists of whining )

All right, that's quite enough of that
