I'm not exactly sure how last night's dream got there, but I recall how it ended. It ended with a broken staff. It was a hardwood eyebrow-height staff and it broke during practice. I think someone else was practicing with it. I examined the break and the staff distorted so it was super thick and revealed a huge knot, like the size of an apple. Being a dream, I accepted the distortion. The appleknot was the cause of the break.
PsykoAnalESis: Dan made me an escrima stick, a long and a short, many years ago back when he was still training. Maybe he made them for all of us? After I woke, I dialed into this memory. I'm sure I still have it in one of my weapons caches somewhere. The short stick, the daga, I used as a burnisher for a while. Dan said he had some special hardening recipe that he learned from his escrima guru, something involving superglue. I remember being somewhat nonplussed about the gift at the time, then his ex told me how he made them - sawing, sanding and swearing in the backyard for days - he wasn't really much of a woodworker. I appreciated them more after that and will try to locate them tomorrow. They are probably at my mom's house.
