* * * * * “I … am not left handed.” Ouch. I hurt. The Kids have boffers, practice swords made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipe, padding and duct tape which they made with help from a friend of Spring [1]'s who's in the SCA (Society of Creative Anachronism) [2]. When I got home yesterday, they were outside practicing sword fighting and asked if I wanted to try it out. I admit it was fun, but all the running, lunging and swinging has left me rather sore.
