HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!

 As she has often told you, math is not Fiorella's high point--and neither is keeping track of what day is what--but she eventually pulls her dates together and gives you the news.

1)  June is too hot for trekking the cul-de-sac during the day so your girl has started walking more toward evening. Unfortunately, the heat keeps catching up with her, and--let's face it--there's no way she's going to sashay out after midnight like in the old Patsy Cline song.

2)  Speaking of country-western songs, when are we going to see a comeback of old favorites like Tennessee Ford's "Sixteen Tuns," which always made Fio cry because she knew that her paternal grandfather had been killed in a Pennsylvania coal mine accident when her father was just three years old. (There was no insurance back then and his mother supported her three children with the help of her brothers and by taking in washing.)

3)  Right now, Fio is lying on her bed with her computer beside her and considering the talk she had with her assigned .... who tried to help her find a suitable home church. The first one on her list was that awful one your girl told you about awhile back--the one that instead of a choir, had a bevy of loud, loud, over-loud instruments that your girl had never seen or heard before--and doesn't want to again

4) OMG, is Fiorella totally out of touch with reality? How and when did that happen? And what should her next step be? Is there someone she can talk to about this

5) You've got eine day off for German, except that  ein means "one" and eine means "an."
