I recognize I may get some grief for this comment, but there it is. Nothing I could do would motivate her. She did work out a little on the track and field team and golf in high school. She's a big young woman now at 22. Like most of us Hurlings where The Old Man's DNA overwhelmed lesser organisms like it was Iwo Jima, she reached 5' 10" by the time she was 15. Also well North of 200 lbs. Like me she competed in the discus and shot put in the field events. But then we have a large population of Samoans and other Pacific Islanders and they can toss those implements like nerfs. Maybe she'll get the ferrous religion later and get herself in some semblance of order, but that is her decision to make and her life to lead. My own poor attempts at programming were worse than useless.
