Remember, no fencing tonight or Monday!
Still looking for some gift ideas for your fencer? All sorts of club gear is available -- tees, socks, patches, water bottles, keychains, and more! Available at any club session or we can arrange a stealth hand-off or plain-wrapped parcel delivery.
There are lots of fencing-themed shirts, mugs, decals, etc. available at Pointed Comments. CafePress is giving out all sorts of discount codes and offers for the holidays so to make it easy for me to share those codes with you without annoying us all to death with email, voila! Pointed Comments now has a Facebook page. You can also get decals and shirts for both clubs there that aren't available from me directly, bonus! And there are plenty of non-fencing items as well so go look around -- maybe this will help you knock a few more names off of your shopping list.
Odds and ends:
Did you lose a book Thursday? A paperback was found just outside the salle. If your library's short a tome, check with me.
Quick fencing video of the day: The fencer on the left is Olympic skater Evan Lysacek making an advance lunge against Olympic saberist Tim Morehouse. In Tim's word's,'Pretty impressive form for a first time ever fencing!' Here's a little more from that same day.
Speaking of Olympic saberists, ever wonder what keeps Mariel Zagunis motivated? Check out this article on ESPN.com.
