Humiliation in cat maintenance

What was a one time joke of singing "canned cat food" to the tune of Beethoven's 9th has become habit because Spice actually responds to it :P Never let it be said that the little furry ninjas don't value presentation....

fencing in Italy

Yes, I did do this crazy thing :P Would have done more too but things got complicated. Short ok, not so short version:

I'd discarded the idea of taking my gear on vacation just as soon as I'd thought it up (I swear!) but D. did a fabulous job of enabling: he said "Aren't you bringing your gear to Italy?" So this spurred the necessary purchasing of hard golf bag off Ebay for protection and packing my gear minus all but one weapon and body cord in order to get under the 44lb Lufthansa checked luggage limit.

Those ~44lbs also included an extra jacket because of plotting with belfebe, stanci, shemhazai and others to visit a historic fencing practice - we had planned only to watch, but now had gear! Or at least a jacket for me and another to share :)

Well....

( small Italian fencers and the tale of the bag )

So - glad I did it, but am not sure I'd do it again!
