Wisconsin Closed Fencing Meet was today, I didn't start well, but ended up fencing well. Serious mental failure caused me to be knocked out in the epee DE, but other than that I am okay with how I did. Could've done better in foil, but the DE I lost was a good bout, so I don't have any complaints.
Thought about pulling Suffering's carbs, but am sore an a bit tired, and decided to read instead. Noted the vikings lost their game today, which is good. I don't really like them.
Have to work tomorrow. Seems like it's been a long time since I was there, so I guess that's okay. Not looking forward to it, exactly, but not dreading it either. Yet, anyway. Tomorrow is another day.

New Year, time to try again
Well, I combined all my blogs into this one, so now I just have to update it more than 3 times a year. Perhaps that is a good resolution? Time will tell.
It is mid winter, and I still don't have a car. The Ural, with knobbie tires and a big windshield is doing very well, better than last year with the smaller windshield and road tires. I am a little concerned the tires won't last the winter, but seem to be doing well so far. I'm not planning on going to mexico on them or anything.
This is also the time of year for me to thinking about this year's road trips. It looks like I am going to Orlando twice in spring. During March for a training (Paid for by work, and they pay me on top of it), and again in May, to see a space shuttle launch (Again on work's tab, but they aren't going to pay me while I'm gone. Well, I have vacation time). Other than that, where to go?
And I am going to (try) to focus more on writing this year. I say that every year. This blog will, I hope, be part of that. Time will tell on that one, of course.
Oh, and I'm fencing again. And horrible out of shape. I weigh around 200 pounds, which I know doesn't sound that bad, but I should and want to be about 185. Fencing is hard but I am being less than consistant practise than I should be and it shows in the results. Next meet is in 2 days, and I am much less ready than I would like. There is little I can do about that now.
So, I guess that is it for now. Lets hope for another post soon, huh?
Keep the rubber side down
