1. Phoenix lessons?
Can we learn to fly at the library?

I don't blame you, though. It drives me crazy when people don't spell library correctly. It means they don't go there often enough.

2. The phoenix part was satire.
He meant to write phonics. It's hard to read and write this eerily in the morning. :-)

4. If you are going to write eerily,
it has to be in the mourning.
