    Three boys are walking down the railroad tracks and find a $10 bill and they’re trying to decide what to do with the money.

    The first boy says “let’s buy some candy” and the other boys say “that’s what we always do… Let’s use it for something different.”

    The second boy says “let’s buy some comic books” and the other boys say “that’s what we always do when we don’t spend it on candy.”

    The third boy says “let’s buy a box of tampons”.

    The other boys look at him and say “what?”

    The third boy responds “I saw on TV that we can go running, horseback riding, swimming…..”

    It does not surprise me that someone with decades of experience outperforms novices. Fencing is not an extremely active sport where youth and strength would trump sophistication.

    My Grandmother burned $6 million dollars once. 1940 it was cold and Superman was super for warming up the house.

    Fencing thing can’t be real. I keep reading that you’re done at 80 and should just die.

    IMHO, the 1938 Superman comic is an interesting survivor of historical pop culture. Why anyone would release 6 million dollars just to make it their own is somewhere north of an abomination! I suppose it’s just another example of some folks who have so much money they have to expend it on something! No sense of discernment. Of course, everyone’s idea of what is important varies as much as fingerprints. So, if it doesn’t do harm, then fund your party; be aware, however it does no good either. But it is your capital, isn’t it?

    I have always ascribed to “I may disapprove with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it!” This quote has often been ascribed to the French philosopher Voltaire but was written by his biographer Evelyn Beatrice Hall to illustrate his way of thinking. I still believe this is a free country; imperfections and all!

    Fencing, is like playing chess, the older players are usually the best at it. When I took fencing in collage (back in the 1970s) I hated facing off against the senior citizens, they have minimal moves down to an art.

    Talk about inflation! Nicolas Cage sold his Superman #1 for $2,161,000 back in 2011.

    And at 77 my dad is preparing for the end, refuses to chase any of his dreams, and is in great health. It is so frustrating.
