Okay, that is a question for another day that deals with mental health.
Storage wars is a show about people buying abandoned storage units in the hopes that they will find really valuable items in them. Part of the show is that the buyers take the items to experts to get them appraised.
Well, I was watching the show last night and they came across some old fencing gear, fencing gear that should have been thrown out. But the buyer thought they might be worth something so they took them to old Friend Tim Weske. Tim was my instructor when I started fencing here in Los Angeles. The Yeti actually gave a weekend seminar at his facility in Burbank. All I remember is that we went to a lunch and everybody had to order ice packs for their knees the floor was so hard. Good times.

I don't hear about the guy for years and now he's everywhere. Today he will be on the radio program talking to one of DJ's about fencing. On the flip side, for the second day in a row they are talking about fencing on the radio. In an uninformed and derogatory way, but they will be talking about Fencing.
And it's Bruce Dickinson's birthday.

Funny that they are talking fencing with a non-fencer.

I have to give Tim credit for self-promotion. They just finished the radio break. The agreement is for the two DJ's to go to his studio to train. He'll get to promote himself on one of the top radio stations in Los Angeles for the next couple of weeks while the DJ's train. They also have one of the top podcasts in the nation so he will be heard on that as well.

They *have* talked to you before, about kicking Master Tu in the crotch. Same guys.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

You, sir, are an *ex*-fencer, whereas Mr. Weske is a non-fencer, an actor who found a niche and a calling in fight-choreography. He is also 10 times more of the businessman than any fencer. Maybe even 20.
