Life continues apace here, but little of it has been noteworthy. It's difficult to know what others will find interesting about my rather bland existence. Sure, I have an unusual hobby, but I can only say "I stabbed people. Again." so many times before it becomes routine. I can say that I recently got a new fencing mask and a new drape to cover the back of my head and make the mask look a little prettier. They are much better then my old ones, which were getting all kinds of worn out. We also invested in new gorgets (steel neck armor) which allows me to use the spaulders (shoulder armor) I bought a long while ago and never could get to work. Along with the gorgets, my wife bought new spaulders, too. So, her Cut and Thrust kit is more or less done. I just need some steel knee cops and maybe a gambeson. With Gulf Wars coming up (big week long event) I should be able to find those there pretty easily. I do need to adjust my bracers and the padding in my helm, but I hope to get to that tonight or tomorrow.
See, that's the kind of thing that we do around here. Exciting, huh? I could go on for hours about learning a new sword trick or how delivering this or that cut is good against such and such defence, but reading about such things isn't nearly as interesting as *doing* them. Part of me is tempted to start telling stories about our events from the perspective of my persona. Make it a work of fiction loosely based on real events. But I really wanted this blog to be broader than that. Unfortunately, I find myself unwilling to write about the day to day minutiae of my mundane life. I would hate to bore people.
