It's a rainy day so this is just Allen's way of saying he is off to put on his happy light hat.

In order to appear as if on topic, one of the ideas we have discussed lately was that Ueshiba didn't change so much in the post war period, but rather continued to explore further nuances and make discoveries inherent in the techniques. A scenario might go something like, "OK, you have the basic mechanical tenkan down, now make the cross and do it like this. See? Isn't that cool?"
So the idea is that the basic kata do/did not change (as evidenced by Saito's teaching), but what Ueshiba showed/demonstrated changes.
