is finally operational! Yes! This has been a long and coming project..I think we started in January, but the website is finally up and running!
Many thanks to Dave Pronko of Steelhorse Studios for designing the site and to Barbara Grosh of Crafting Links for site development. THANK YOU BOTH! :) I just like to add that they did the website for me for free as a contribution to my fencing. Thank you again!

From Fidel to George Bush International
On Saturday, I went from Cuba to George Bush International airport in Houston. Life as an Olympic fencer is always interesting.
Below is a photo of some of the propaganda that is going around on the island about George the 2nd.
Brings new meaning to "one's man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Figure that one out.
Enough politics..more fencing.
In Cuba, the US team passed Venezuela which means we are now the top team in the hemisphere and in position to qualify the team for the Olympic games. Just a recap-by April 1, 2008, the US team has be ranked ahead of Canada and Venezuela - the other countries in this North and South American block don't really have strong teams besides the three. This is very good news-this is the first time this year that the US women's foil team has been ahead.
The next big team tournament is at the Pan-American zonal championships in August. Last year we took second to Venezuela but that isn't going to happen this year. We have beaten them several time since the last zonal competition.
Not much else to report except for the fact that I am back in the states. Yeah, Texas. I'll be here for a few days before going to Vegas for the last world cup of the season-I fence on Friday and Saturday.
By the way, a belated Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's and a big hug to my Dad!
