    Hey, thanks for the pos rep Bryan. Still hoping that I will be able to at least make it up for the shinsa on Sunday. It's too bad the kids Maeda sensei has at Summerlin don't appreciate the gift they have. I remember when he was at TMG and the rumor was that TMG was going to close I was thinking how cool it would be if he moved close to us in the Triangle. Alas he got the position at Summerlin. I'd like to practice down there sometime even though the floor sucks. Have a good time at the SEUSKF championship.... ganbatte yo!
