Rule #37:  Don't try to kick your attacker in the balls, he is hard-wired to defend against that.  Instead, fake that move and then punch or elbow him as hard as you can in the throat.  If he can't breathe, he can't fight.

CHANGES:  This week has been a week of dramatic changes around our house.  The Young Lady is moving to Bowling Green to enter a Master's Program for a year and a half.  The Boy has decided to join the Navy after he graduates in a year.  Girl 1 is, thank God, living with us again, working, and soon will take on another summer job in addition to her summer college courses.  Girl 2 is taking a math class at the local Junior College in preparation for classes at the university in the fall.

The 1st Girl is coordinating all of these changes while working hard for summer money from the university.

Me?  Cooking mostly.  And fishing.  And foot modeling, of course.
