I would like to apologize to my fellow RFA members for not communicating earlier today that I would not be able to make the Sunday session. I had nothing but good intentions when I first said I would attend. However, my lack of foresight on this Sunday's events left me with an unrealistic view of my availability and in the end this lacking has brought me great disappointment. I did play at home however, and although I did some really nice things as far as shred goes in the end I was left unsatisfied as I had not the company of my fellow RFA members to share in my delight. I even attempted to capture one or two accomplishments on my video camera but found that the cost of reusing the same video casette over and over again renders the playback of such a casette visually unintelligable and unappealing at best. I do hope today's session was as fun and productive, if not more so than you had originally planned and I do humbly request that you provide accounts of your successes.

Someday, I pray, we will meet again.

Peace.

Hey guys. I'm going to be in Rochester from September, 28th - 30th. I would love to get a session in while I'm in town. Hopefully I will be able to make it out for the session on Sunday, but if I have to leave early on Sunday, would anyone be able to make it out for a session on Saturday the 29th? Or even Friday evening?

Just wanted to chime in and give my feedback on the Saturday session I had with Chris Dean. Chris was awesome as usual. I have not kicked with Chris in about two months. I made a comment that I thought his legs were thinner, but what I think confused me was that they were just stronger and more defined. His game was so good. One string was so long and filled with variety that I thought he was attempting to show me a two minute routine.

There was a good amount of people traffic on campus during out session. I cannot count the number of times people stopped to watched us or we heard something like, "That's amazing," from onlookers. I was really exciting that we received a lot of positive feedback from people.

As for me, I felt my game was okay. I have been playing nearly every day over the past few weeks and this is certainly paying off. My string length is getting longer and a few moves that used to be really tiring for me felt easy. Before our session was over Chris asked me to hit ducking double legover. After quite a few tries I nailed it. I never worked on this before because I thought it was a few levels beyond me, but when I hit it it felt like something I could work into my normal routine.

Chris, thank you for coming out to shred with me. Hopefully I will make it to a Sunday session soon.

Peace.

I might be able to make it. Not sure at the moment. Julia and I have relatives coming in from out of town. It all depends on when we are going to see them.

Mike, would Sunday be better for you? It would have to be early in the afternoon. What about Paul and Chris?

Just spoke to Julia and it looks like her brother and family will be in town early Saturday. We will be heading to Ransomville, NY to visit them first thing Saturday morning. I don't believe I will be back anytime during the day.

Sunday might work for me so long as it is in the after noon, that being any time after noon.

Peace.
