Mine are exactly 50 minutes...and I do mean exactly. T is very punctual
I would like to discuss each one, I admit, because each brings out a different feeling I've kept hidden.

Yeah, I agree. But no, it is too long! Oh well - beating around the bush trying to get to these issues instead of actually reading them out takes longer

That's what I'm going to do. I'll give it to her if she would like to take it with her - I actually hope she does ask for it. That way she can go back and re-read for clarification.

Thank you Squig...I hope so. We'll see Monday - I'll post how it goes
