When I’m not writing, I’m swording. Today, I managed 2nd place in my club’s spring sabre tournament. Not too shabby for an old man.
FYI: I have a new sci-fi novel coming out soon.

It might sound a bit niche if you don’t write about people hitting each other – or in my case, aliens – with swords, but I promise you that it’s a fascinating listen.'

Some fencing I wanted to show. We had Ruggers, i.e. large Bauernwehrs, made for us by Ádám Bodorics. It was interesting fencing with the these, because unlike our "normal" Messers, these have no crossguard, just a Nagel, and they are also shorter.
It was fun seeing how it changed our fencing.

Can't wait to see it and wear it!

In her opinion, the rules of sporting events need to be changed, as "the world is changing."

My respect for the Russian people is diminished every time something like this happens.

also, can a math person run the odds on this?
There were exactly two possible matchups between Ukrainians and Russians, and in hypothetically randomized 64-person fields, BOTH were scheduled for the first round. (One Ukrainian withdrew and the other was DQed for no handshake.)

For context the most recent president of the international fencing organization that handed out this punishment is a Russian billionaire described by the EU as “one of Putin’s favorite oligarchs”
