I thought I had claimed dibs on all the palindromic numbers!

Guess what?

Je retournee, as we used to say in French class, only we used a accent acute over the last e.

Yes! I am returned from my annual Christmastide soujorn into Wilderness, DC, and once again I have escaped the predators there. Harrowing as it was, with ambuscades on my right and left, with fascines before me and redoubts behind, I fought clear. Fortunately I have recently again picked up the sword and began again to tread the piste for I found riposte and remiss, parry in prime and counter in quatre, to be of most excellent use. A horizontal fleche saved me more than once from the blades of those in power there, and with a touch here and a touch there I conquered.

Fear me, ye MOABites! For I am learning epee, and you might very well see me in the next Olympics, representing Idaho in Individual Epee or perhaps in Modern Pentathalon, or both, or neither (chose one or two).

I am, of course, already an accomplished master in foil, saber, broadsword, barbed, chicken, hog, and other types of fencing.
