Allison and I have been taking fencing lessons for the last 3-4 months. I was a little wary at first because our classmates are all in middle school, but it's turned out to be a ton of fun and a pretty good workout. Allison and I have a vicious rivalry going. I'm up in the lifetime series about 5-2, but the two matches she won were in the spring session-ending tournament, knocking me out of the running and winning it for herself.
So, fencing is on Monday and Wednesday but next Monday is also our first anniversary. At first we were considering skipping out on fencing in favor of anniversary festivities, but then I had the best idea I've had all week: Anniversary Duel!
A normal match in fencing is to five points, a duel to 15. It's going to be epic. It'll be like Inigo Montoya vs. the Man in Black. Or Master Yoda vs. Count Dooku. Or that kid in the new Indiana Jones movie and that guy who was trying to kill him, but without the monkeys (unless we can find some monkeys). The winner will be forever immortalized in anniversary lore, and the loser will have to wait a full year for a chance at revenge.
