Kat, Ken and Kyle,

One of the kids that gave me a hard time in grade school finally backed of
when I punched him in the nose.  We both got sent to the principal and got
punished, and John was pretty easy to deal with after that.  A couple of the
other guys who picked on me later ended up working in the disabilities
field.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
