All,
I would like to 2nd what Alden is saying... Everything holds true.
BTW Wissa. If you can't make a practice and need to have a backup
martial show up, just twist my arm. It just gives me another reason I
should truck on down...
Alden,
We should talk about carpooling. I have a van, and Treon works with
me, so that makes three fighters that _should_ be going every Tuesday.
Peer pressure works.
