ok... not so much :P
Aug. 27th, 2003 09:52 pmAt 6:30 the sky turned black and Thunderstorm() started running again. I decided it was too dangerous to risk having a tree fall on the car, so I didn't get to fencing after all :( Turns out my carpool partner A. also had to bug out - he lost power so he and his wife had to hustle to find a hotel room!
I think it's fair to say that this wouldn't have been a great evening to be hooked up to an electric body cord!
So, I was sitting around in my fencing knickers with nowhere to go, so I did some footwork and watched the 3rd Selberg fencing video. His technique for teaching right-of-way is wonderfully simple - wield a "live" (i.e., sharp, no safety rubber tip) weapon - instinctually no one will risk walking into it just for the sake of a touch!
I wish I had more time to fence AND sew. Efforts to eliminate sleep have not worked - I had to drink some chamomile tea just to come down from all the coffee I've slurped today.
