My final fencing class is tonight. I don't think I'll be buying a sabre of my own anytime soon. It was fun, but it's clear that I can't think fast enough to determine who hit whom last and my opponent and I generally wind up just staring at each other after about one attack, a parry and a riposte. I think it would be easier if you could just wail on each other, but alas, such is not the way of this civilized sport.
So now I have to find another class to go to. I've decided that, given my limited attention span for anything that involves semi-strenuous physical activity, I should just take an endless series of introductory courses in something or other. That way I can accumulate small bits of knowledge about a wide variety of diversions without actually being proficient in any of them.
So far so good.
