Wow. I didn't know Wham-o had fencing swords! Kid sized I assume. Took up the sport in the 70s-80s. A real thigh builder. With lots of pain and Bengay.
I fenced for two years. I loved it. I hve to go back to it. They have an adult night here in town. I was always amazed at how much better the girls were than the boys at the sport. Men try to muscle their way in but women are precise. It's all in the footwork. I am glad I learned how to use a sword. Just in case, you know.
Wow. I agree. We had 2 gals in our class and they took to it like a duck to water. I continued on for about 4 years but moved on to something else. Interesting tid-bit, our teacher was the Romanian silver medal winner at the Olympics, but he had a hell of a drinking problem. He was great when he was sober, but he would sometimes show up with obvious 'battle' damage, and a snoot full. Interesting guy. I hope he found his way.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

How ancient is that stone foot bridge? Look how worn they are by untold countless feet!
