                             Notes from the arena champ.

     How can a busy Duelmaster get prepared to fight, when they have all these demands 
on their time. Eh? Here's what the boss made the whole team participate in on the 4th 
week end:

     4th -- pick up his eldest daughter and two grandkids at airport; big spread of 
hot dogs, baked beans, macaroni and cheese, salad, drinks of choice (non alcohol, dang 
it); fix up new Roku TV (needed grandkid technology to help); play Careers and Sorry 
with kids, take kids to pool; 
     5th -- up early to make breakfast and coffee (more coffee); 4.5 mile hike at 
Paris Mt State Park; back to the pool; more Careers and Sorry; 
     6th -- Escape Room for Kidnapped;  Downtown Greenville wandering: Shopping at 
Trader Joe's (3 normal; 1 vegetarian; 1 vegan -- I hate Trader Joe's); more games; 
more pool; 
     7th -- finally a break as we all cram into a Rav4 and travel to Charleston to add 
another daughter, son-in-law, and new 1 yr old grand-girl to the mix; and on and 
on.....

     You get the idea. Now I am tired. I just want to practice my moves for the next 
round, but I  think  I shall  just  take  a little  nap........

                                          -- Not a Chance, DM many many times

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome AMEN-TEI.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with ANNO 
DOMINI?  He actually beat WAYFARERS' ALBERT HALL, and walked away with 18 more points 
from the fight.  Laughs were big at AMEN-TEI while they watched KHALHUMS DWARF 
clobber NEVER.  It lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  Try as she might, FAMILY TAXI wasn't good enough at persuading NOT A CHANCE 
to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors 
and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, WAYFARERS!  
In my day, no team with a 1031-1138-21 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
EXCLAMATION!?   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.  A 
warrior can't stick around with a 10-36-0, and ANNO DOMINI easily took care of ALBERT 
HALL.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
