Thank you for the report Dosho and it looks like you filled those big shoes well.

Thank you Michael! And I shall again be filling those shoes, which still seem big but not quite so, tomorrow as Fugen is needed elsewhere. So, again, if anyone wants to join the tea party and are not on my Skype list, please PM your info to me so you can join in the fun (although the beginning is REALLY serious)!

Hope some folks can make the time to join us, for 5 minutes, 60 minutes, whatever...all are welcome.
