I do agree, and fortunately, to the lament of some I may add, that's how my brain works and that of a good number of our seniors as well.

Don't tell anyone, but that's why I get paid the big bucks. I'm constantly evaluating and trying to better define what this experience of budo training is as well as what I see others do. There are a few people that I continually pick goodies from that add to my understanding. Thank goodness my teachers taught me to find good behaviors that fit the models they taught; and doubly thank goodness that my nature is to always look outside the box and develop as wide a view as possible. Who knows... one day I may widen my view enough to even see through your experience and that of many others that are worthwhile. I've also learned along the way what not to spend time on.

Best regards,
