Ellen: FYEO. Here is a summer quiz. Study first. Then take it. Make sure your eyes are open when you take it. You may close your eyes to study. Study anything. What you study is not important. Just study something. For several minutes at least. Then take the quiz. The study may be the best part. So, don’t waste time. Get to it. Then take the quiz. There is no time limit. But remember – you only live once. So, hurry. But, take your time. In other words, hurry slowly. If you know what I mean. And if you do, or even if you don’t, you’ve studied enough. So, go ahead, right now, and take the quiz. It’s simple. Yes. Or, no. Believe It. Or, not. Dad

Batterer’s Intervention Class. The class I chose I chose because it was closest; it’s on Ferncreek. It’s called No Abuse. It has a reputation. It is the oldest. It is confrontational. Every single minute.
Most of the guys are done with their partners or wives. Or, their partners and wives are done with them.
The curriculum is modeled after a program begun in Duluth not long before we met. At it’s core are two wheels – the Power & Contol wheel, and its inverse the Equality wheel. The weekly homework at No Abuse focuses on one segment of one of the wheels. This week the homework was on the Respect section of the Equality wheel.
