Right now it looks free. If I get in for my hand surgery then, I'll be off for sure.

Cool. All I have is an artistic adaptation of a favorite indulgence of mine.

I read your brainblogs... is it wrong of me to find comfort, solace, and at times amusement? You are a much stronger person than I am, but I suppose you have had more practice at it. =^_^=

I wish you my best for the outcome.

Of course he's Canadian! Did you expect something different????

I went to a ref seminar this weekend with instructor, Derek Cotton. ( Who is also from California.) Part of the workshop was on wheel chair fencing. I know/knew almost nothing about it and never understood the term "butt judge" prior to this event. I noticed in Kidlazy's comment.

I learned what a hard event this is to ref. Derek said that when he starts the bout that when he says " ready", he is really talking to himself. The action is so fast.

I will be looking forward to learning more about this through your adventures and your blog.

Please keep us posted, so it can be a learning experience for us as well.

the Belgariad books look interesting. I'll have to check them out!

(Just in case you are wondering.) I did some W.C.Fencing years ago, not competing, just a training partner.

Just make sure you don't stand up when "lunging," you don't want them to call butt-judge on you.

Better start developing your back arm now.
