If we all brought our laptops, this meeting still can be an email!

The postscript suggests that the whole Headless Horseman attack might have been a prank played by Ichabod's romantic rival who, having accidentally or deliberately killed Ichabod, hid the body. 3/

When is a girl simply learning chemistry? Or running/swimming/volleyballing her heart out? When is a girl just walking through the world, not the least bit interested in attracting the male gaze?

Never, in the minds of some grown-ups. Like this swim ref. chicagotribune.com/columns/hei
