@jopier Let me know if that works for you or not? Now knowing that you are in Charleston, I can try as well. Personally, I love to hear the 100% fight mode. Having a father that was a boxer, and growing up in Philadelphia, I have thrown a few punches with and without gloves. When you do that, you sometimes get hit back. It hurts. I didn't like that. So, I would go back to my dad for more education, training, and planning. I then would do my best to execute the fight plan. If my punches didn't knock the other guy out, it was back to education, training, planning, and executing a new fight plan. Hopefully, you can prepare enough to time things just right to land the knockout punch. That was good preparation for fighting cancer. Does that make any sense at at all?

@tomrennie Thank you! We spent 30 plus years close to Philly in Delaware before moving here. I try to catch all the Phillies games- they help me stay normal. When we are back visiting in Delaware I make attending at least 1 game a priority.
Maybe I will try boxing!
Today is a good day!

@tomrennie I love that you are from Philly. So am I ! You are so right. Being from Philly makes you assertive and always in Fight Mode when necessary. We know how to look out for ourselves and each other !
