I have come to the conclusion that MA websites are like women... they give you just enough info to get you excited, then let you down badly.
Thanks Tim,
But to be fair and balanced - there are several quality Eishin Ryu groups with dedicated practioners through the big, old USA outside of the Roshukai. And if you were to ever escape that damp, wet rock called England - I am sure you would eventually look them up one-by-one.
My wallet – I think of it as spending my children’s inheritance. In the end I think they would feed me just budget cat food if I ever lived that long - despite their assurances of nothing but the best Purina Gourmet brand for Dear Dad - King Lear had it right!
The whiskey cabinet is full – since I only touch the “aqua vitae” under extreme social pressure, unlike drinking alone with my Buddy Weiser. Anyway you haven’t visited New England either to sample it since I began collecting on my UK trips.
Besides I thought I would be a whiskey contender until I wandered into that whiskey store in Terminal 4 at Heathrow last summer; saw that 1937 Glenfiddich bottle for a mere GBP 10,000. My spirit broken I flew home with the "budget bottles".
The rich are truly different - they have more money.

Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you! I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
