    Mina-sama,

    A little late, but Happy New Years! I was a bit busy the last couple of years, but I hope to get on here a bit more this year.

    Nathan et al,

    Happy New year!

    I know what you mean about being busy. Hopefully we can get some *good* Daito-ryu posts going.

    Best regards,

    Mina-sama,

    Happy New Year! This has been a tough year for Japan, but I was glad to see a huge turn out at the Temples downtown for hatsumode (first visit to a temple/shrine). Hopefully this will be a better year for everyone. I'll try to post something of interest this year - if I can ever get caught up on my notes.

    Regards,

    Dear Mina-sama,

    Happy New Year! A busy year for most of us in 2013, but hopefully some of us can find ways to manage our time more efficiently.

    2014 is the Year of the Horse, party people. Have a great year (and post something smart sounding to the forum please).

    Thank you oh cheesy one.

    In the words of the "Wolf":

    Just because you ARE a character, does not mean that you HAVE character
    BTW, Aiki Cheese is a gokui that is not supposed to be revealed to outsiders. Now its going to be all over the internal arts forum!
