Leon Paul USA Shoes and Socks

Augh!

Check out the top pair of fencing shoes. Check out the price.

Check out the Adistar Fencing shoes. Check out that price.

I just got the Adistars at my last tournament. I’d been using my Classic Sambas but had a ton of trouble with the arch of my foot. Getting shoes for fencing that work without spending a ridiculous amount of money is pretty hard. I guess because fencing is such a specialized market that the shoes becoming ridiculously expensive.

There’s looks to consider as well. You can spend less, but damn…

No, I did not pay THAT much for the adistars, in case you were wondering. I did get a discount.

Anyrate. The LP shoes aren’t bad at all. Augh! Why couldn’t they have come out SOONER?

human stupidity.

So, yesterday Nathan and I visited my dad and his girlfriend for the Fourth. We played bocce ball, pool, darts, etc. An interesting day, to say the least. I had the opportunity to shout from the basement to my father the following:

“DAD! WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR BALLS?!”

That question, of course, was in reference to the bocce ball set he claimed was down there. Yes, we did eventually find the balls.

Later that night, we ended up playing darts. I’m winning, all I have to do is hit a single bullseye.

Mmmm. That’s right. All. I. Have. To. Do.

Anyway. So Dad’s GF says, “She can do this in one dart!”

Nathan replies, “Pfft. She couldn’t do it if she had TEN darts.”

I throw a dart. Not only do I hit the bullseye, but a DOUBLE bullseye.

HA! EAT THAT!
