HTML Problem

Don't know what happened. I went back to edit something on today's post and when I tried to update, got a message that my HTML brace tags are broken, so I couldn't change it. As it stands now, the beginning doesn't make sense. What was omitted and I can't add is that a woman named Kathleen at our table texted through the speaker's talk, the jerk. After that came "And the speaker was terrific." Ugh, I hope this isn't a continuing problem.
