This summer, I was staying at college to do a math program. One of my friends who was also in town encouraged me to come to fencing practice with him, so I took him up on it, half as a joke and half because I always wanted to try fencing as a kid...
Two months later I've been to a tournament, I'm buying gear (since the team doesn't have any left-handed jackets that fit me), and I fence epee every chance I get!

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."
