The Pierce family is close to exhausting the list of all possible sports experiences. It’s children have surveyed almost everything. Gymnastics, basketball, rock climbing, skiing, swimming, soccer, baseball, surfing, the club sport triad of golf, tennis and yacht racing, and, recently, they’ve begun to explore the realm of combat sports . . .
The remainder of the list is getting short.
Only ones left are jousting and that Mayan ball-and-ring game. I’m sure some enterprising person in Marin is finding a way to charge $375 per child per month for that one.
Next, the big garage sale . . .
(Note, though, Rory scored two hits in that video. First bout! And he does not even have his precious little high-waisted fencing culottes yet!)
Wow. I recently met, at my gym, a woman who has coached world-ranked fencers. She says it’s the “fastest” sport in the world. I remember playing with epees in high school drama class. Murder on the legs.
Good going, Rory. Two hits! Verily, two perfect hits!
