WOW this has been quite a week Master McNeill’s cane seminar was a super experience. I learned a lot of new techniques from the In The Shirt seminar so many the old brain went into overload, I think too much info for one weekend. But as I progress, I believe most of the info will come back. The more I play and practice the more I love it; it’s funny how a person learns and loves the feel of our personal canes the balance point and where the grip feels so good to strike. When I pick up someone else’s cane it feels like some one else’s socks, if you know what I mean. Master McNeill thank-you for spending a weekend with our Silent River Kung Fu family.
My next challenge is to learn to fly-fish. I know that it sounds like too much fun to be a challenge. Well I went fishing with (Kylee, Kim and Martin my fly-fishing instructors) this week never caught a fish. I did catch a sore arm and sunburn on the bottom of my arms; I put suntan lotion on the top of my arms, but not on the bottom hmm! It is not as easy as it looks! When I watch someone who knows what they are doing, the line lazily snaking back and forth over their head, then with the last whip of the rod setting the hook in the water thirty feet in front of them exactly where they want it. Me a different story; I catch the weeds behind me and set the hook down in the water ten feet in font of me. I can tell this is going to take some practice.
