I do not know. It is 8:12 AM right now. I will eat breakfast and then go on that walk.
PS I just ripped my new sofa. I was using my elbow to get off of the sofa. Oh well.

Sorry to hear about your daughter, but the good news is that people can still go back to college at any stage in their life. In fact, my cousin got pregnant at 16 and again at 18 and again at 21. She never went to college. But then ultimately, she went for it and got her PhD in criminal psychology (just graduated 2 years ago). She had received an offer from University of Michigan for undergrad at age 23, and they paid for her childcare. She then got into a PhD program (I don't remember where, but maybe University of Michigan too) and the rest was history.
She was technically **trigger** raped by her boyfriend, since it was statutory rape. He was like 28 and she was 16. Why the heck she got with him in the first place is beyond me, but I think that was part of her motivation for a degree in criminal psychology.
