I don't want to jinx this, because a few things aren't yet final, but this ad just appeared in the Carbondale Park District program guide, and I wanted to share it with you:

Chris, without jinxing, can you say who the instructor is?

Heh! I hope it's me.

They were unbelieveably enthusiastic about the proposal I put
together, and have been completely supportive since I presented it.

I figured they'd want, I don't know, some sort of demonstration, or
would need a bit more of a pitch than I had time to deliver. The Park
District director has known me for years, but not as a martial
artist- I've never hidden that side of myself, but I don't promote it
much, either. Very few people in town, even those who have known me
for more then twenty years, know about my involvement in martial
arts, in fact. But it felt as if I had the Park District folks at
hello.

Now the program needs to attract enough students to pay for itself....

I was hoping that was the case! No jinx, can't say the usual
'opening night' phrase for this situation, but wishing you the very
best. I know it will be great. Let us know if we can be of any
help at all. Saw Al Santucci on Sunday and had a wonderful visit
with him.
