Having just read your latest journal entry I'd also add that it's good to hear your changing to an ortho grip. 'Should make a real difference for you.

| I broke it during a lesson. I go through atleast one blade a month, but this one was special. It had lasted like 3 months and it was so perfect.

| I could have posted my 1,000th message anywhere else on this forum, but I chose to share it with my epee family here.
I LOVE YOU WILD 'N' WACKY EPEE PEOPLE! Gawd bless us all! | |

Tazz, I'm truly sorry for your loss. I felt the same when I broke my favorite blade last summer. There was just a gaping hole in my soul. Any blades since then haven't come as close to my heart.

| Ahhh, I knew there was something I liked about you... (Umm, we did get along in that previous life, I hope!) How I love those point weapons.

| Careful there, Wes. Don't want to come across as randy and uncouth as, say, a sabre fencer. Epeeists are supposed to natural leaders when it comes to exemplifying grace.
Instead of a simple double-entendre, consider setting up a third-entendre (aka an "entendre in time"). | |

| Dear Brothers and Sisters we are gathered here on this beautiful day to thank the Lord for his provision of our bountiful EPEEs.
I submit to you the following scripture for meditation.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and fence not EPEE, I am become as sounding brass (aka saber), or a tinkling cymbal (aka foil). And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and fence not EPEE, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and fence not EPEE, it profiteth me nothing. EPEE suffereth long, and is kind; EPEE envieth not; EPEE vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in inquartata, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. EPEE never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come (read EPEE), then that which is in part shall be done away.

| Pluck them out.... wow. There would be a LOT of blind people. And the one-eyed man would walk into a wall and die anyway. | |
