    Especially as David is now in Oklahoma.

    His speed skills class really was good for eliminating wasted movement I didn't even know I was wasting. I teach some of that same stuff in every class...

    Indeed! I failed to avail myself of spending that time with him to complete that class, but I always have in the back of my mind that I'll invite him back here to teach a couple of classes over a weekend. It's an eye opener to learn why "smooth is fast" isn't really ... all that fast.
