Hello Everybody,

I had planned to do this earlier but the past few days have been quite hectic.
I arrived in Belgium Friday night and saturday noon I was already on a plane
to Rome, since thats where my girlfriend is studying at the moment. Im still
in Rome at the moment and will return tomorrow evening.

With this mail I just want to thank everybody and especially Jon (who I
unfortunately was unable to thank in person) and Micheal for being such great
people and for helping me get in touch with the aikidoka in me (I know he's
there somewhere! :)

Aikido was my very first martial art and it has proven to be a great exersice,
mentally as well as physically. As soon as I return home I will try to find
a dojo in my neighbourhood and I will keep you posted as I continue down
Aikido road.

So again thank you everybody for their time and patience. The Emory dojo is a
nice community and with some luck I might end up at a class sometime next
year. I also really want to thank Craig for the amazing amount of patience
and positive motivation. Youll make a good teacher.

Anyways, you all have a great summer and enjoy Aikido
Cheers
Dirk

PS: and remember, relax! :)
