Re: The Higgins is closing
The part you probably can't discuss is the part I'm most interested to know, Ken -- will you and Jeffrey Forgeng and others be granted comparable positions in the new digs? I'm not expecting an answer... just wanted to lodge the question. I sure hope so! Care and feeding of our academics should be ...

The BotN has had a small taste of whats coming next year.
My shoulder surgery is next week after 4 years waiting. Getting my harness back together I hope so I can at least be a training dummy for any of the team out this way.

Good. The Russians pretty much need a cannon shot at them to stop. Just about everyone of their fights I've seen has the announcer shouting "Stop! Stop!

The fact that you cannot thrust in BotN is huge and is what turns their melees into big wrasslin matches. this destroy the ability tpo perform many period techniques.
