For the second day in a row, I took my fencing kids to the college to work out in the fencing room. We get twenty minutes if I hustle them over & back--that's okay, but I'll see if I can get one of the school vans for two days a week so we can practice more. They're a cheerful bunch and don't complain too much. Henry L. forgot his sneakers so I couldn't let him do any footwork; he said he understood (he does gymnastics and has turned his ankle at least once), but he's bizarrely ADHD and when ...
Trying to post rom bb at airport. Heading home Discovered protein shake upsets stomach. Added after returning to a full keyboard: The class was a good, informative one and this is one of the few times when I actually went places beside the class and the hotel. Upon arriving, a co-worker (from another state) picked me up in the rental car and asked if I'd mind going to the Big Basin to see the redwoods. It proved to be a further drive than initially expected ...
Epee practice last night was frustrating. I felt good, but I was not on my game. Point control, distance management, timing, etc. all were all off a bit. I fenced AJ.

I have been trying to "own the piste" recently. Last night I didn't own anything. I'm not sure what my problem is ...
It has been ages since I last posted. I have not fenced in a month, mostly due to travel and just being to freaking tired. I so hate my recovery me. My Dr. did remind me that I am the poster child for recovery and that there are people who had my surgery who wish they could be in my shape. And remember Mr. Pouty, it has only been 6 months since the surgery. I of course look at it and say, “For God’s sake, it has been six months already.” My wife and I have been talking ...
Over the years, I have gotten into the habit of having a glass of wine most evenings. I started when I was trying to lose some weight and the glass of wine proved to be a more calorie conscious choice than a peanut butter sandwich and some cookies and some cheese and crackers and whatever else was laying around - just before going to bed. Also, if I am to believe current urban legend, a glass of red wine is good for the heart. That being said, I am fairly certain that it ...
