Hmm...okay, so I lied (albeit inadvertently) --- this entry's late too, as we're still working through some computer issues at home...in the meantime, I'm waiting with bated breath  to receive the pics from Monday night, which apparently turned out "great".
On a happy note, (just as I had gone out and bought him a farewell card, no less) Sempai Garry, who had earlier decided to quit Aikido due to health reasons, will be back and training with us in February! Dave and I are both really glad that his "fighting Irish spirit" won't be keeping him away from the dojo for good after all. 
We focused primarily on defenses from Munetsuki last night, then applied these in a couple of rounds each of Jiyu Waza/Randori. The techniques were:
Iriminage (direct entry) --- and here's my tribute to Sempai Garry's infamous stall words while figuring out a technique --- "so I need to...":
- Make sure my hands are palm up when sweeping up under uke's chin, and then turn them downwards while finishing stably in a squatting stance.
Iriminage (indirect entry), "so I'm going to...":
- Remember to make a cupping motion around uke's head with my hand while finishing of the throw.
Kotegaeshi:
- As always, step back as much as possible to stretch uke out while going into the last part of Kotegaeshi.
Yes, I know...another dull entry about technique. Sorry --- I know I could make things a little more interesting, but then that would just get me in trouble! Best to save all that for the Private entries.
