The sales drive continues! so far I have sold 79/200 Not bad but i've still got a long way to go for the new equipment I need for Montreal. Last weekend I made some major modifications to my fencing chair and found my fencing groove. I also found out that I have a busy few months coming up, Ive got a tournament in March, coach wants me ready for Montreal in April and I'm working towards that one dozen and 5 miles at a time! Two weeks after Montreal I have an event in Tampa Fl. Things are getting busy and I need to sling some cookies. If anyone knows of any where I can sell a bunch of cookies at one time I'm all ears! Things are going well but i'm starting to feel the fiscal crunch. This weekend I have a US National Wheelchair Fencing Training Camp to get me ready for the next phase of my fencing adventure!
Physically and mentally I am ready now if I can get wheeling chef cranking out cookies I'll be ready with the cash! So if you've got friends that like cookies let them know about mine, heck if you have enemy's tell them too, Im making this happen one dozen and five miles at a time.

My Inner pirate
I got an email on Monday from the editor of Thrill-list Atlanta asking if I had a few pics of my cookies they could use for a write up on me. I was in the middle of baking an order so I sent him some pictures, what could it hurt? I've got a goal of 200 by April so I can get to Montreal and every order helps. I sent the pics and waited to see what would come of it. Tuesday morning at 5:15am my trusty IPhone chirped letting me know I had an email and saw the Thrillist article! At 8:30 the emails started coming in and so did the orders. I started this week with 29/200 sold and as of right now Ive sold 49. One dozen at a time i'm getting closer.
In many of the emails I received my clients said the line "getting in touch with my inner pirate" struck a chord with them. So I got to thinking, aside from fencing, this whole idea is rather piratical, at least from the romantic view.
Pirates are seen as men of fortune who have take destiny into their own hands flouted the rules of society and made things happen for themselves. That's what I have done with this business so in a way fencing helps gets me in touch with my inner but so does the business, I do things my way, and dont follow the conventional rule of what a cookie should be, remember the Guinness cookies?
So I shall continue my Piratical baking ways plundering cash from my unwitting cookie addicts, whom we all know find themselves addicted at first bite, and continue in the pursuit of an arcane unknown but thrilling sport! As always thank you for reading!
