Yep. Solid as a rock. Both Kristi and Marlee are always woody worthy.

I'm particularly hopeful for Marlee. Back in about 1985ish the martial arts association to which I belong and serve as the assistant chief instructor tried to start a program at Galludet College (then, University now), which is the country's premier university for deaf students. The program didn't work out due to the availability of the necessary space in conflict with our schedules. But part of our interest in teaching there was the challenge of training deaf people in defense arts. They can follow you when they're facing you, but as soon as they have to turn around they have to rely on other senses to know what they need to do next. Initially, they can follow a count to a beat that they can feel through the floor, etc., but later on when motions are soft, subtle, and silent, it gets a bit tricky. I'd love to see Marlee win; even if it means losing Cheryl and Edyta.
