I have eaten enough apples to kill a horse and I'm still craving sweets. Last night, I was moving stuff around in my car and saw an orange M&M lying on the floor of the car. It didn't look TOO dirty. For a brief moment, I almost grabbed it and tossed it into my mouth. Almost. Common sense prevailed (it was, after all, on the FLOOR of the CAR). I have had an interesting day thus far, partially because we had a power outage at work last night and partially ...
Last caffeine = Friday, April 25 Last M&M = Saturday, April 26 I will probably drink caffeine while driving three hours (or more) to the Sectionals iin Columbus, OH and I've picked a bad time to decide I don't want to fence DivIA. Of course, odds are good I won't make it but I'd already committed, I am driving a teammate there, and I could use a few good bouts with women who are not members of my club. I signed up because I was disappointed at not qualifying ...
We had Jessi1, Meng, and Kiersten, and they took their time getting ready to fence, but I managed to get three bouts of five in with each of them.

Since Jessie beat me with good distance and footwork last week, I went in closer with some ...
I've been foiling around for about 5 years now. I fence recreationally, will never be one of the GOOD ONES.

Foils appeals to my personality-- I'm one who goes by rules. There are no rules in epee! At competitions the foilists make a respectable showing. The serious women foilists enter mixed and women's matches; women's ...
Sunday was an awful day. I took an Advil and tried to go to the gym, where I put in 5 minutes before stepping off the ET and then barely managed to do my OT stuff before going home and collapsing into bed again. I accomplished nothing except a new record for most hours spent sleeping on a Sunday. I even managed to sleep through most of the night with only a few weird dreams about fencing, The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and living in a converted mall. At the moment, ...
