Back toe, front heel

There was a sort of Super Bowl pall over the club tonight. Charlotte, Mike, and Will were there. I danced around on the bosu ball while I watched the gold medal WS Olympic team bout between the Chinese and the Ukranian teams, in which the final touch came down to instant replay.

Nothing particular to report. Will was disgusted with his footwork, Charlotte was disgusted with her fencing, I was disgusted with mine, and Mike was fencing fine. Will was practicing footwork in the back room because he was so disgusted. I suggested he lift his front toe and use the ball of his back foot, and he moved much better after that.

My best bout was with Mike. He suggested we do a "veteran bout" and somehow that triggered my good game, so I made some nice actions for a change.

February sucks even when the temperatures aren't cold. I'm recovering from a cold and I feel as if I have walking pneumonia.

As of yesterday afternoon, jessi seemed convinced that she'd stagger in. I'm amused and relieved to hear that she didn't.

I staggered in, however. All the health and strength I garnered over winter break has dissipated, and I am a shambling wreck. But that's nothing new.

Jessi, Will, and Mike have registered for the Liberty tournament in Warrington on Sunday, because Jessi thinks it sounds like fun. I think I'll go down to Baltimore for the Choco Therapy Open at the Baltimore Fencing Center instead. If I'm going to go to a mixed open because that's all there is, I'd rather get out of my immediate back yard. Though a two-hour drive is not the same as a 40-minute drive. Hm.

Hey, I'm reffing the choco therapy! See you there, if you make it! Because god forbid I have a weekend day off. I keep thinking about bringing my sabre gear just in case they need a 25th.

Keep your chin up. We all know that February is far and away the longest month. Although if it continues like this, with bulbs coming up and trees blooming, it might not be quite the hell that it usually is.

It is indeed the longest month, and I just managed to do the same boneheaded thing I did for last year's NAC. Or was it the year before? I forget. Never mind. Suffice it to say that I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, but it doesn't matter.

Well, if you're going to be there, that makes the Choco Therapy sound reasonable.
