Maybe so. I missed the "more than normal" part. However, this course involves more than just the usual twice-a-day program, as you know, so even those who normally do group program are making a significantly greater commitment. > How ya doin' on that so far?

Actually I thought you were quite right about that and probably still are. I'd be astonished if they got 3,500 siddhas. I'm surprised they've gotten 750 in Fairfield. > But do keep counting.
