Only 5 people in iaido last night, and K-sensei's wrist was pretty bad so she practiced with a lightweight wooden sword. But we got seriously schooled on the first 5 seated forms, which I still can't memorize, so it was good (except for the exploding blister on my left palm.)
Got some good advice on bugei.com's web forum boards about sword bags so I went ahead and ordered one from Bujin Design. Also thinking I should get another hakama as mine's kind of long...well actually the hakama's fine it's just that my legs are really short.
Had lunch with Jeff, showed him how to do bank transfers at the ATM (only withdraw and deposit are in English), and FX'd with him so I can save away some dollars...some day we'll get a 401(k) plan...
