Folks,
Well, Mr.Stone is on his way. He is just outside Fayetville heading north. I just got off the phone with him. Yep after talking with him I realised that Yep I really do have a northern accent. After the warmest January on record it is a brisk 15 degrees outside with a nasty wind chill. Fortunatly unlike Brian I don't train outside. Even the basement dojo may be a bit brisk tomorrow. I may have Brian check in when he gets here. It may be around 10 or 11.

Oooh! Cold!

For the Europeans 15F is about -9 C. With wind chill should be colder!

Now Mark, if Brian shows up with a cowboy boots and a big belt buckle that has "BS" on it. Don't laugh too hard, he's a good "feller!"

As far as your daugher...I'm only married, not a parent yet. I'll leave you the joys of that one!

Have a good time!

The Eagle has landed. Brian managed to find my house in half the time that it took Matt and Scottie. Mind you Matt and Scottie might have been confused by the bright sunlight and warm weather. Brian was aided by the dark of night and subzero wind chill. We chatted for a long time. Now it is time for lights out. I'm going to go to bed now and try not to have nightmares about his gynormous feet on the ends of his nine foot legs flying at my head.

*mortally wounded from Oldman's barb, gasping and gargling sounds*

Brian.....you have done well......Scottie and I were forced to eat our horses and use the hides to keep warm in the below 70F degree weather.....*coughing fit*

....the brutal mid-western sun kept glaring off my Ray-bans so bad, I could barely read the GPS screen on the navigation computer. *spasm, shudders*

When our Starbucks ran out, I knew the end was near. I have done my best......the rest is......is up to y.......

Hello everyone,I made it here!!! Mark and his wife are very nice and hospitable. They let me sleep in the clubhouse in the backyard,thankgoodness I brought a coat. The splinters aren't that bad really,I'm looking forward to getting feeling back in my face again too.
Actually they put me up in a really nice room with a comfy bed. I woke up to a little snow on the ground this morning.We may need an hour or two outside session to mark the occasion.
Mark and his one eyed dog conspired to injure me this morning,luckily only the dog was only temporarily hurt.
Things will be great today,I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here.

Yo! Bria!

Have a great time. Kansas isn't all that bad, really. Well, at least the company's good.

Have fun y'all.

Have fun Brian and Mark. Keep us updated. By the way, what kind of car does Brian drive? Did he bring his Hotwheels?

-9 C ... man that is beautiful outside. In this last week we went from +10 C to -30 C with windchills of -40 C. You guys have been spoiled. You know it is cold when your vehicle grinds and whines and doesn't want to turn over unless you've plugged the block heater in. You do know what one of those are don't you?

We just got back from Mark's school where we met up with Chris(cxt). Mark's instructor Tom is very nice and is an excellent martial artist as is cxt!! I enjoyed going through two morning classes with them. They all demonstrated their kata for us. The atmosphere was great!
I'll check in later,were fixin to go roll in the basement!!

TECHNICAL QUESTION: Just wondering, is it not possible to log into Oldman's computer and use your own name and password? I see Brian logging in as Oldman so I was just curious. Or does it have something to do with the IP address? Sorry for getting this off track.
