the two SAFD founders

1:35pm - Weapons check-out
1:45pm - 3:15pm: Rapier/dagger with Chuck Coyl
3:30pm - 5:00pm: Unarmed with Dale Girard
5:00pm - 7:00pm: DINNER
7:00pm - 10:00pm: Masterclass, always different, one night it was knife with Bob Macdougall, another it was
theatrical adaptations of practical martial arts with Chuck and Dale, another was how to
get a job in stunts with the Maestro
10:00pm - 7:00am: Usually back to the dorms, shower, stretch, and pass the fuck out.
So you see why i haven't been updating much, i hope.
Yesterday though was pretty fun. Only a half day (so classes were an hour long and no lunch) followed by the intermediate students' re-certification in rapier/dagger, single sword, broadsword, unarmed and quarterstaff. All that was over by 3:30, so I grabbed food, relaxed, and hit the strip. On advice from the father person, I went down to Caeser's and spent a while in the poker room. I was doing fairly well and wound up down again when i was capping bets after flopping bottom two pair and got popped on the river when the guy hanging onto top pair hit a set. It was kinda aggravating. I stayed on for a little while after that, but my night of largess turned into a bare modicum.
