And to all a good night
On today:
I think it's called irony when you get up at 6:40 to go to a breakfast meeting where they tell you to take care of yourself and get enough sleep, a meeting which ends half an hour earlier than scheduled - mind you, I'm not complaining, but couldn't it have started at 7:30 rather than 7:00?
The food was decent, though.
I spent most of my free time today being unproductive.
I've requested an absentee ballot, but I think that they're sending it to my mother's house (in Philadelphia) and I'm not even sure if what they're sending is the actual ballot or the request and absentee ballot form. And did I mention that my mom is in Washington DC right now? I'll call dad tomorrow and ask if he or Isaac can check the mail on Friday and see if they sent me a ballot-sized envelope or a letter-sized envelope, and forward it to me if it's the former.
Fencing was good tonight. We played frisbee and then hooked up electric, but only the one strip, so Caitlyn and I settled down to look at the loot from Nationals. The results:
7 epee body cords, at least sort-of work (they register hits, but we didn't test them fully so the not-going-off -when-it-isn't-supposed-to part may be broken for some of them)
1 foil bayonet cord, broken (bayonet is the kind of plug I use)
3 foil 2-prong cords - Scott will trade them with MoHo for bayonet cords
1 saber lame, appears to work
1 foil lame, appears to work
1 pair of knickers, no suspender straps (or maybe it's one of the ones I lent to the Florida fencers?)
several plastrons/underarm protectors
1 chest protector, quite large
1 pair bps (or maybe that was just getting our own back; all the little plastic discs look the same)
2 unindentifiable electronic bits, different sorts
1 epee shim
1 floor cord, mildly dubious but apparently in better condition than our second set (not that that's saying much)
and some other assorted stuff.
Then I fenced Scott and got three touches to his five. Mind you, he wasn't fencing the top of his game, but it was a real bout and he wasn't intentionally holding back. And I'd just gotten up from sitting on the floor. And I got three touches. I also fenced Caitlyn, went la belle, and won. I did a bit of reffing, then Scott kicked us off of the strip so that the epees could get a turn and I decided to pack up so that I could get a shower and maybe finish some discrete math homework. Maybe I should get off lj and do a bit of that before bed.
