Elfpies?

OK, why is there a note by the computer that says "Elfpies"? 

Oh, never mind.  I misread Barb's handwriting.  It actually says "Elipses."  Now, that makes sense.

TGIF

The week really goes by fast when you're busy.  Last weekend was really nice... a country inn, sleeping late, antique shops and flea markets, and good restaurants.  I was shopping for an old cane to use to parry with while fencing but I wasn't finding anything cheap and durable that looked good.  Eventually baka_na_haha convinced me to try a giant wood spoon that we found.  It has worked out great.  It works well for parrying, it's funny, and (to my surprise) opponents find it really intimidating.  (Apparently, many fencers had mothers who used wooden spoons for disciplinary purposes and they find it really daunting to face a large spoon.)

Work's been busy, Zan's been busy, a lot's been going on.  I'm ready for a weekend.
