Much thanks to Myogan, a gracious host and friend, and to Shugen and Shokai for the long drives down and up to gather together.

In case anyone is wondering, in the picture above, I am wearing a genuine Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri "Funny Hair Hat", mine featuring the Canadian flag, a gift from Shokai. Every man should have one.



Today in Chicago, looking forward to my talk at Taigen Leighton't place tomorrow. Maybe I should wear the hat.

Gassho, J

We will drive to Omaha from the Sioux Falls area, my wife driver--I don't drive--to meet with Tom, Matt, Jundo and the two of us. My wife will drive to a local library or park for Poky Mon Go, while the rest of us will sit in Zazenkai on the 3rd of August, day after tomorrow; we will drive tomorrow to a motel, and meet with all at Matt's home on Wednesday. I hope to watch Oryoki, with Jundo's permission. I have been able to extend my sitting time to upwards an hour, so participation will be fully possible. We will only be able to stay until about 2:00 PM because my wife needs light for driving. We plan a most enjoyable time--very much looking forward because I may never again be able to meet this crew in person.

Thank you Jundo for this chance in my lifetime, I am 65, though it might be possible to sit again someday in person. GREAT Gratitude.

After much negotiation with my school and my teacher for tonight's class, I'm afraid I'm unable to reschedule the exam I have to take tonight, so I won't be able to make the talk at Ancient Dragon Zen Gate. I'm trying to look at this as encouragement to get to Japan in the next year, or so, so I can meet and sit with Jundo.
