Hi Grace -

The "N.U.T.s" in the book title stands for "Non-Negotiable Unalterable Terms". Basically, it is the personal things us guys can't give in on. The second half of the book is all about the 8 betterman tools which are really great. This is a book that probably is not that useful for women. It is my favorite of all the R books I have ever read. The author has a very interesting web site: http://www.bettermen.org/

I have decided to go skiing by myself tomorrow. I will probably blow out my knee as I am a telemark skier, but what the heck, I haven't been skiing by myself since I have been married.
