Coach,

Speak softly and clearly--it's been hell WATCHING me on the sidelines or I've been hell to LIVE with on the sidelines while I'm waiting to heal? You may want to ask for guidance before answering, eh? And I don't think half a semi-load of shells is too much, with 5 shooters in the family, do you? Should last us for half a year or so, shooting 2-4x a week.

A slapshot runs about 89-90 miles an hour and, with you being a championship skeet shooter in earlier days, you should have no problem with the lead. Just wait until you come home tonight and we'll practice in the back yard!

Coach,

First of all, KNITTING?? Shooting, hunting, karate, Taekwondo, whitewater rafting--these are my hobbies. Not that there's anything wrong with knitting, but it requires one to sit in one spot for an extended amount of time, therefore I'm not really suited to it.

I would never stop you from shooting, my love. In fact, you'd better start practicing every chance you get because this Irish girl is going to beat you this year, more than once anyway.

And the blaze orange floor hockey pucks? Take a look in the undergarage when you get home tonight, Coach, where you'll find several just like it! Hockey, anyone? (And yes, I'll let you wear the hockey pads because I can check like crazy!)
