I throw in my thanks to the Big JW as well. Even though Summer came
and everybody (except me and Kai) left for . . . somewhere (where did
y'all go anyway?), Jon was always eager to train even though it was
usually (*always*) a bare-bones training (in the summer). I also
really appreciate and enjoyed the carpools up there. Never a dull
moment when in a car with the Wilson. Jon, we'll still never resolve
the debate about dancing with men (long story) or the factuality about
how the 'b' in #b kyu was just a pity rank.

Kai, it's a pity. I'm the only person in the household who is talking
like a pirate! Aaaarrr!! It be a crrryin' shame. (throat singing sure
makes it a lot easier for "pirate-speak")

Ah, about the photos for OPERS. I do have photos of training that Ma
took. I put the best one's in the photos section. Some are a little
artsy (which pro's might call, "blurry").
I recall Jon took pictures on two different occasions of training.
Jon? Ain't it about time those pics got downloaded off the camera?

Are we gonna bring all the medals 'n trophies from the tournys?
Luke and I have some medals if we all want to pool 'em together.

Take it easy but take it,

Kyle
