Imperative #1

When you are 20 pounds lighter than your opponent, imperative #1 is to find a suitable place to hide. This chaise (when not extended) offers me the perfect retreat from snarling teenagers.

There are other imperatives. Roll on your back. Bark back. Run fast. Dodge. Somersault and then switch directions. Hide behind mom's legs. Hide behind anyone's legs. Go to sleep.

But #1 is and always will be HIDE, HIDE, HIDE where the suckers can't get you.

Oh! How wonderfully delightful! The pic of Ruben hiding behind the river rocks is, as They say, "Totally Awesome!" Truly, this is a wonderful blog - generous in spirit, humor and love.
Thanks for this!
