I helped with and participated in a seminar with the martial arts organization (the Jissen Kobudo Jinenkan) that I train with starting last Thursday. The seminar was put on by Lt. Col Fumio Manaka, who only is able to come to America a few times a year.
I was so wrapped up in the seminar, that I neglected to inform TFL members that my good friend Spartacus- Byron Quick- was in the hospital. Byron had suffered a severe nosebleed and complications. He works in an ER, and was actually transferred via ambulance to another hospital with better facilities. (I'm not sure of all the particulars, because I couldn't really understand what he was saying, when he explained to me what had been done. )
Byron is now out of the hospital, and almost back up to speed, but I am sorry that I, in my preoccupation, did not give TFL members a chance to extend their support to him.
There are few things in life more important than a good friend, and I have some good ones. I thank whatever powers that be that I did not lose one this past week.
Byron, I love you, buddy. I'm glad you're still with us.
