Weekend fun

Okay, corn mazes are somewhat okay.  Corn mazes with a 3-D element are wicked.  And corn mazes at night are awesome.

There's a museum for arms and armor in Wooster MA.  Very cool.  Includes frequent demos of fighting with live steel, and they are very knowledgeable about their subject.  Thing I learned this week:  the Bilbo hilt of a sword, named for a town in Spain, the 3-5th fingers curl around the hilt, the thumb and 2nd finger pinch over the (protected) crossbar.
