work was a crazed whirlwind of suck today. thank goodness i can bike there. but came home to pulled pork and a freshly poured, just coming up to cellar temp, Rasputin stout. the wife is in stress panic cooking mode, with only 2 weeks left on her job. i keep telling her we're fine financially, but she just can't hear that and wants to do her part.

fencing practice was good tonight. student #1 took first in a tournament over the weekend and we dissected his performance. he's absorbed much more of Saviolo than he did with Agrippa and it shows. just have to get him to stop trying to move like i do and develop his own style.

been having fun taking the all paved, and slightly longer, county roads to work this week on the Pake. usually use the Ridley or Nature Boy and take mixed trails/path/road. too many flavors and i love them all...
