So much for regular updates before the grading...

More pre-grading ruminations.

Hi all,
As I'm sure most people know by now, Masuda Sensei arrived yesterday. We're exceptionally lucky to have him here, so make the most of this opportunity and get to as many of his classes as you can!

In addition to imparting wisdom and "educating" yudansha (sometimes doing both at once, right Shane?), Sensei is also a keen golfer and will play most days he's here.

If you play and would like to join Sensei for a round or two, please let me know.
