yep, I'm here

Yeah, see you then.
You're in Portland now, yes?

haha, us old farts don't have to wake up till noon. I'll see you 12:30 on Sun.

Yep. Junior and Senior. Frigging 9:00 start time means I'm leaving here by 6:30....

I wanted to remind you about the grips... My hand spends a while wanting to die after every fencing class...

Pretty much.... I dunno what I'm gonna do about it. Next year, I can see my qualifying path for Nationals being Div 1A and Junior, but not if I need to make it to Alaska first.

I suppose it's only fair right, I saw people from Alaska at sectionals. I have family there, who knows. My thought though is why hold them someplace that only accommodates the minority? That's just stupid.

Or not....

I guess I'll try typing up my response again. It wouldn't post it the first two times.

My club stops during the summer because most of our practice is done at school run facilities, and those close to us during times when the school is closed.

And I really think Alaska needs to have it's own Div1A and Junior qualifiers. I've thought about trying to go, but it's twice as far as anywhere else in the section. It's really not fair to expect us to go up there, or really to expect them to come down here the rest of the time.

This thing seems to be having issues

yeah, Adam is pretty good, really solid blade work. Why doesn't your club stay open after July 1st? ****ing Alaska, seriously.... damn it.
