  1. Epee: The Devil's Blade!

    by , 02-19-2009 at 10:21 PM
    Allowing me to counter attack,
    Seducing me with valid touches
    (to points previously disregarded, discarded),
    enjoying the rewards of the fleche,
    and forgetting the ROW.

    Get thee behind me!
    Your pommel weighs heavy in my hand!
    Your temptress blinding in all white!

    I will not be swayed
    though I enjoyed the moments temptation
    and dare I say it,
    may want to do it again?

  2. Update

    by , 02-19-2009 at 10:16 PM
    The local sectional event is now up to THIRTEEN (13) WS fencers and has 2 Cs, 1 D, and 1 E.

    Update Friday, at 1825 pm: And now there are FOURTEEN (14). 2 Cs, 1D, 1E, and 10 Us.

    If just one more WS fencer signs up, it will be a D1 event. If we can get at least one E and one D (or higher), then we'll have a C1 event.

    I'd love to see it and esp. so since attendance at WS events in this area has been historically low.

    On another matter: I will ...

  3. Mars Needs Women

    by , 02-19-2009 at 12:19 PM
    Mars Needs Women was a very bad (imho) b&w movie. What we have here, however, is a desperate plea. If you're female, a USFA member, and have the equipment needed to fence sabre, AND you're within driving distance of Indianapolis, please come fence Saturday and make this our first-ever C1 women's sabre event. It's the St. Valentine's Day Massacre Women's Sabre competition.

    The event is posted on Ask Fred

  4. About that knee

    by , 02-19-2009 at 05:39 AM
    I didn't ice my knee last night. In fact, I haven't iced my knee as often as I once did and the only reason I'm icing it at all is to avoid the possibility of swelling right before Atlanta.

    I am not healed. There was no laying on of hands to make my knee whole again and I'm very aware that it feels "different". More, I still have no power in that knee to push forward into a good lunge.

    However, knee is no longer hyper-sensitive and swelling in response to mild ...

  5. A Thanks from a self pitying old f@rt

    by , 02-18-2009 at 05:45 PM (Greybeard's Brain Blog)
    You know, no one has the right to be down when supported by a community like this. I have become a self pitying old f@rt. I have survived when they prognosis they gave was he might walk and perhaps he’ll be able to make words again.

    That is a problem I have discussed with Scott someone sees the way we walk and immediately thinks we are idiots. After he broke his neck, Scott got his PhD and has about 10-11 patents to his credit. “Oh look, you cut your own food up.” “How old are ...
