  I am in Tallahassee for the Memorial Day Tai Chi Workshop, I flew in on Friday. Randy who had been planning to visit his daughter in North Carolina, changed his plans (his daughter had to work over the weekend), and came here instead. It has been a busy day. We started a little after 10:00 AM. We did a couple of sets and then Joe started us working on tor-yus.
We worked on through till lunch at 1:00 PM. The lunch fare was great, prepared by Virginia Amos, and after a nice workout it hit the spot just right. Lunch Break We did another set and then chanted for twenty minutes or so. We looked at various ways of doing snakes (and you though there was only one way, hah!). Joe, the instructor showed us a way of sitting that helps you stretch your legs and make them more flexible.
By then it was time to practice more tor-yus. By 6:00 PM it was dinner time and we set up the tables for dinner. Dinner was just as good as lunch if not better. Dinner Break One of the members who is a musician, brought out a lute, a 24 string instrument. He played several pieces for us until it was time to work again. A little after 8:00 or 9:00 PM we did a set.
Mary Lou then taught us some sitting Taoist meditation. To end the night the students who attended the sword workshop demoed the sword set. As hard as I have worked, we have been given plenty of breaks and you can stop anytime you feel tired. Just when you start thinking that you cannot take anymore, its time for a break, or even better a great meal.
