Did phở again today and it was just as delicious. I also remembered to try the cà phê sữa đá, and that was good too. I don’t think I’ll be ordering it a lot, though, as there’s an awful lot of caffeine in it. I’m like bouncing off the walls right now. For those of [...]
[fa:p:a=the-boy,id=288551413,j=r,s=s,l=p] It’s been a big week and the start of a big weekend. Corrie Ann left for a business trip on Wednesday, so I took the last half of the week off so I could be around to get Devin from school. Given that we’d have the extra time together, I also planned some activities. [...]
Ever have one of those moments where you wonder if you’re doing the right thing? You think you’re pretty good at something, and you work hard at it to make it better, but then it suddenly occurs to you that maybe you’re not all that good at it, and maybe it’s just that no [...]
… or how I spent my weekend.
This weekend was the second annual Titanic Open. This is a fencing tournament, hosted by the fencing club I’m a member of, for women and children only (get it). I’d go into greater detail about the whole even itself, but Woody said it quite expertly, and succinctly, here. For [...]
Wow, it’s been a little over two weeks since my last update. It’s been a little crazy, both at work and at home, getting ready to deploy a major release and getting used to Corrie Ann’s new schedule with work; don’t even get me started on soccer and fencing. It’s enough to say that [...]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I got back from Coaches College. I feel like I’ve had plenty of time to digest the experience. Part of the delay in doing a wrap up post has been all the catching up on chores I’ve had to do. I’m not complaining, mind you; I’ve just [...]

I'm sitting in the Colorado Springs Airport, mooching off of their free WiFi connection. Coaches College is officially over and I am on my way home. I'm still having a hard time codifying everything I have experienced and been through in the last ten days. It honestly feels like an eternity since I first [...]
Today did not go as well as I’d hoped. I drew Advance, Retreat, and Advance-Lunge for my footwork and Random Actions for my bladework. Ordinarily this would be just great, except that Eric Frey drew the same cards a half hour earlier, when I was his student, and I felt this (completely irrational) need [...]
I passed, I passed, I passed! I got an 88! I honestly had no idea how much my stomach was knotted up over this. I’m told it’s the hardest part. All I have to do is the practical tomorrow and I’m done. I’m feeling good about it. Hope it goes as well as tonight. [...]
