Somehow, in this weather, being inside a nice, cool curling rink has a lot to recommend it. I, however, went to fencing class instead. Not hot enough for you? Here, put this helmet and padded jacket on. Feel better?

I did, however, win both my matches. Just to keep the truth quotient up, though, you need to picture two guys flailing at each other with sticks. The grace factor wasn't particularly high. Kind of fun, though.
