    Thank you Kyonin, who will handling everything this week ... LIVE FROM MEXICO!!!!

    I would also like to welcome Mr. K., the Japanese fellow who has been sitting in Tsukuba with us the last few weeks. He is going to try "two way" for the first time, although if he can't figure it out, it will be one way. I told him both are same ONE-TWO WAY.

    Gassho, Jundo

                    I'm going to sit one way, because I will have to exit early. I'd rather leave the limited "Two Way" seating for those who can stay for the entire time.

                    Gassho,

                    Daijo

                              Hi guys!

                              Getting ready for Zazenkai, but there's a big storm now. Power might fail, so please be patient if I have to begin a little later or if I suddenly disappear from the Hangout.

                              Dosho, please be ready to take over.

                              Hopefully the storm will pass before beginning.

                              Gassho,
