Hi again everybody. Quick break in the action here. Thanks for the thoughts about the Ruffians.
Kacey, i am beggining to see what you mean about students. Even though they are not my students, I have been helping out in the kids programs and it is exciting to see them grow. I almost died the other day when I went to the school to pick up the Ruffians. One girl came by and with the bubbly, enthusiasm only a 5th grade girl can contain, breezed by with a "Hi Sensei Gordon!" I actually looked around to see if my brother was there, before it clicked she meant me. Me? Sensei? NOOOOOO! I am way too crappy in the art to be called that. It just makes me happy to see them moving forward, not only my own, but the other kids in the classes. There are 6 moving up in rank, and now I know why my brother does this.
