I am happy that she is not interested in boxing competitively now ...... just the training to stay in shape. She's concentrated that time in finishing her CD for release. I so much prefer that to her boxing! . She was at the last gym that Rubin ever visited, and my kids grew up thinking of him as an uncle.

At risk of being an overly-obnoxiously proud father (I am), two stories you might enjoy. When she was a pre-teen, we went to a rural church I had just got on the state & national historical register. During the sermon, she kept raising her hand, though she was ignored by the pastor. Finally, she got up and expressed her opinion that people really didn't seem to understand what Jesus was saying, or we'd be out helping those in the town that didn't have enough food or good clothes.

I took her to listen to former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega when she was 14. During the Q&A, my daughter said what she thought about VP Cheney. Elizabeth said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you've just met your next Senator." Oh yes, I am mighty proud of her. And I tell her that every time we speak.

She is supposed to get here this evening, for a week. I am really excited.
