A properly balanced sword is the most versatile weapon for
close quarters ever devised. Pistols and guns are all offense, no
defense; close on him fast and a man with a gun can't shoot, he has to
stop you before you reach him. Close on a man carrying a blade and
you'll be spitted like a roast pigeon — unless you have a blade and
can use it better than he can. A sword never jams, never has to be
reloaded, is always ready. Its worst shortcoming is that it takes great
skill and patient, loving practice to gain that skill; it can't be
taught to raw recruits in weeks, nor even months.
--Robert A. Heinlein

Thanks PF. Heinlein is good for quotes, eh? I thought I recognized that first one. Wasn't surprised when I recognized the second one.

"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splended post, which any human power can give." Thomas Jefferson.

That quote fits me to a T! I love living alone. I love the peace and quiet, and never miss the family dramas.
Puns are the highest form of literature.

There is nothing more luxurious than eating while you read; unless it be reading while you eat. Amabel did both: they are not the same thing, as you will see if you think the matter over.
