There's a moment in time--for all of us-- that could change everything. When a decision is called for. Or maybe not even noticed. Which college do I attend? Do I stay or go? Do I take a gift that's offered even though it means doing things differently? Or even, do I walk out of the house late . . .
First of all, I do not hunt and do not support sport hunting. I see no sport in it at all. Look at that cute little rabbit face! That soft fur! No. Do not hunt anything, including rabbits. I do not eat rabbit. I do not keep rabbits. I do love Maui. So why would I dream about rabbit hunting in . . .
