"I've done a couple of things that any reasonable six-year-old would have
known was going too far. I learned that not coming up against your edge
is bad, but going over it is terrible. What you want to do is gingerly
approach your limit. Go up to the edge and go no farther."

"The purpose of conflict is harmony." 

Both quotes were written by Terry Dobson,  they are on the Ed page because they seem so appropriate for the page and for Ed. They are appropriate for the page because tracking wins and losses on an Aikido web site has a nice ironic twist, I hope and I think Terry would appreciate..  As for Ed, if there ever was a grown man that has done many things a resonable six-year-old would have thought twice about he is it.
