I think this is my 400th post ... times flies; it seems like only yesterday that Geoff grant in New Zealand suggested that I started blogging. "What's blogging?' I asked ... 'you need to do it!' he replied, before setting up my blogger account that very day. I must say I have enjoyed the process of blogging - it is a way for me to throw my thoughts out there, pretty much unfiltred and un-spell-checked ... it's nice tom be able to present a polished class or technique to a class but it's also nice to be able to just throw it out there 'hot off the press' so to speak. So thanks Geoff - for all your wonderful - AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATED HELP - and for dragging me into the world of the blog.
Note the pic: Here with Geoff in Wellington - at the Mt Victoria Dojo - one of the very best schools in NZ. Geoff's mat is always filled to over-flowing - testament to his personable teaching style and great haircut! I am heading out to New Zealand at the end of this week to visit all of my great friends there - I am really looking forward to it - and have some great training ideas in store. See you all soon,
warmest regards
JBW
