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.
