jimpretzerIs it only me or is the idea of a war-themed restaurant a strange concept (http://www.100thbgrestaurant.com/)? ; However, B and I are getting back into ballroom dance after 20+ years away from it and the restaurant reportedly has good food and a live band for dancing on Tuesday evenings. We were all set to go tonight with friends from work when they foresight to check and make sure tonight was the night with the band. Oops, the schedule has changed. We'll have to wait a couple of weeks. Instead we went to a swing class, so we got some dancing in anyway.
My other new project is trying to learn to fight sword and buckler in the style of the i.33 manuscript (http://freywild.ch/i33/i33en.html). ; I took a class on it at the Known World Academy of the Rapier last weekend and I borrowed a DVD on it from Wulfgar. It is an interesting style designed for unarmored combat and would be period for my persona. Now all I have to do is figure it out and practice a lot.
If it wasn't for work, I'd get a lot more dancing, fencing, and writing done.
