In some corners of the world, it takes a village to raise a child. In my world, it takes a whole passel of women -- pseudo moms to my daughters. Yes, I know I'm their mom and technically, I am the one who raised them. Okay, sure, their dad had a little to do with it. But it's Mother's Day. He'll get his own day in June.
Kids aren't the only ones who balk at eating something new if you tell them it's good for them. Adults are pretty much the same way. In fact, we (the elders) can be downright suspicious about new foods.
Raymond Victory arrived at Bluffton's annual trout derby at 8:15 a.m. - much later than usual, but still nearly six hours before the 2 p.m. starter's gun would sound. He was carrying two poles - one with which to fish, the other to lay on the ground to stake off his three-foot section on the quarry's bank.
As the derby began, Victory announced to those nearby: "That guy (the number one tagged trout) is in this area. One of us will catch him." Victory was joking, but just 15 minutes later, that joke turned into reality.
