      Yes, it was smart to use the commas where you did in that sentence. Has quite a bit different meaning without them.

      Ha ha! Yeah, I googled the quote and read her wiki entry when you first posted this. I hadn't heard of her before. But it sounds like she'd have some good material I would like reading.

      Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for! I was thinking maybe it's someone he isn't allowed to name yet. Like when Riley tweeted about making recruiting stops in certain cities, but couldn't name the recruits he was visiting.
