Today was a reminder that I am:
A. Not as young as I used to be.
B. Woefully out of shape.
Went to fencing practice this morning - got my arse handed to by Jack the Black and several others, although I did get in some good shots. Got to play with this adorable little buckler Jack has. It's a change from my big silver monster, let me tell you. I still think I like my wooden buckler best, though - just need to fix the handle (currently a leather strap, but I think I'm going to put a metal door handle on it). I also got the velco to (FINALLY!) finish up my armor, so I hopefully will not be wearing duct tape next practice. :p
Then we went home, and showered, and met several of my work friends for bowling. The six of us bowled 3 games (Argus made quite the good showing - he used to bowl in a league and brought his own ball and shoes), but despite being a really bad bowler, I did not totally disgrace myself. I got better as the games went on, and Argus and I are talking about maybe joining a league together. It might be nice to have an activity to do together that doesn't involve the SCA... :p
So now onto Dreams - goal today is another 1k.
