    OK, here goes

    Hi all, I had written in last week about taking up this sport. Both my kids have been fencing since May, and I have been flirting with the idea of fencing myself. Thanks to all the words of encouragement guys...tomorrow I will take my very first fencing lesson. I am a bit nervous, but excited as well. Wish me luck!

    Good luck with it, and let us know how it goes.

    Way to go, good luck! My daughter got me to go to my first lesson, and now I spend the whole week waiting for Thursdays :-D

    Please let us know how your first lesson went.

    Maybe you can get your mom to fence too. Sure why not. I love going to work and hearing about everybody and their grandmas fencing too.
