Tai Chi and Kill Hitler!

Tai Chi camp: Penny and I just returned from our visit to tai chi camp in the Catskills. Our teacher, Master Yu, is older than we are, and amazingly strong at 130 pounds. He customarily gestures to the biggest guy in our class, says, "touch me here" and when the hand approaches, Master Yu moves quickly and before you can say, "wha hoppen?" he pushes the guy gently or not so away. He needs to use demonstrations because his English is, to put it nicely, lousy. When we started his classes (back in NJ, about Y2000), I could understand only maybe 1/20th of what he said. Now my average is double that, maybe 1/5th. So I'm almost able to hold a conversation with him, though when I speak, he sometimes says, "What?" But he's a great guy and he even believes in me, that I somehow can learn to do all four forms (108 "chapters or movements") that he teaches. I was at it for 2 years before I learned the first one, and then let it drop because he could no longer come to NJ to teach and his NYC lessons were too difficult for us to get to.

Penny, however, is much better at it than I; she does all 4 forms and additional stuff too. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just lazy... However, being at camp I got enthusiastic about it again and intend to practice more. (Another) however, my current list of duties and obligations is enough to use up 26 hours at my current rate of accomplishment. 

I finally managed to get my website for the Kill Hitler book registered with Google, but each time I try a search on some of the specific phrases listed in the website, NOTHING, ZILCH turns up. Despite the title it's a good book if I do say so myself; some other people have thought so too. Now I'll go back and work some more at it. I really want kids (boys, mostly, since four 10-year-old boys are the protagonists) to find the site and download the FREE BOOK. No catch, no games, no fooling.

add later: I finally think my website is indexed by Google. But I googled the phrase "Kill Hitler" and got 111,000 replies!!! How to make my site jump to top of the queue???

More, later, probably...
