   If you’re going to let Annie box despite her illness, you should at least have her (and her opponent) wear a padded helmet and extra-padded gloves. Maybe that’s why the government is there? (Not likely, I know.)

   My parents never once used real cuss words in their lives. I remember using the f—- word in anger one day. I thought they were both going to have heart attacks. Much later on, I started going to church again, and one Sunday morning during spirited debate on some point, I forgot myself and said g-d dammit. The other Bible class members were kind about it, but suggested if I wanted to pray, there might be better forms of address to use. I blushed for the first time in years. Shoot!
