Arun, you somewhat interested in Jiu Jitsu or what?
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

That's right; if they can't come along nicely, put them in a submission/choke-out hold. I know that would "influence" me a lot!

How We Lived Then: A History of Everyday Life During the Second World War. I got it when it was on sale, months ago. Just the kind of book I like, filled with personal anecdotes. Excellent.

That sounds good.  Have you ever seen the PBS (British Chanel 4 I think actually) the 1940's House?

Prayerful

Still reading volume IV of Jonathan Sumption's series on the Hundred Years War. Being highly successful QC, and latterly Supreme Court Justice, hasn't slowed his output of this excellent series. He won an OBE for the series, a deserved honour, I might add. I certainly recommend it.

I have downloaded but have yet to start Mary Beard's SQPR, same with Robert Harris' Dictator. Former is non-fiction, latter fiction, but I know both will be excellent.
Padre Pio: Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.
