I had no desire to wind up under the wheels of a truck. Full attention to the road seemed like the best bicycle plan.Back in the Downtown House I call...d Jen first, since her message might hold a clue as to the others. "I need to speak to Jennifer," I said to the newish receptionist."Yes ma'am the boss said to put you right through." the teenage voice said."Maxine, I have been getting calls all afternoon," she said first thing."Nice to hear from you too.
