It is just too freakin' cold tonight for practice. Last week was about as cold as we could manage, and at practice at 7 pm it was about 38°. Today, with the sun shining down, it is all of 32°. By the evening, it will be below 30.
So that's it for practice this semester. Our most successful semester of practices since we started! I want to thank our new guys for their interest: Ross, Sebastian, John,  David. You guys were very consistent and easy to teach. 
Extra thanks to Sev, Jonathan, Daniel, Andrew and Eric, the returning crew who help keep us moving forward as a group, even with the crush of school work.
And none of us could have done half of what we did without Kelby & Aethelwolf's patience in and out of armor, acting as living pells, loaning gear and generally being just the kind of help we need at practice. Thanks very much guys!
Next semester I imagine significantly more fun as more as people get their own armor together (there's a holiday gift guide for beginning fighters here: http://www.student.virginia.edu/~isenfir/node/90) and feel more comfortable with their fighting.
Before you know it we'll be able to run some good sized melees! Just the thing to prep for http://Pennsicwar.org next August.
