Chris,
well, damn. That sounds like a hell of a resume.

I don't know your particular idiom...we've got some EXCELLENT
resources up north...In ontario there is Glen Doyle, about the
only guy with traceable Generational system, and out west there
is Mi Amigo JP Sullivan, of the infamous MSP...either one a FONT
of info and technique...

Both RADICALLY different in approach....

Me? I'm old and crippled and harmless...I use a cane these days.

What I DO do, is continue to find all the things the best systems
have IN COMMON and find the reasons they are held as truth across
the systems and across the world..

Welcome!


As for the stick, no worries! I actually am a canesmith, and this has
been a torture test for my process...I call it a pass, all things
considered.
