    Dear Mike, you kindly offered me to guest blog and I’d love to learn how; problem is I belong to the the new plagued people(mexican), and if I’m lucky I’ll be in Portugal on may 31, hopefully not locked up in preventive sanitary detention. Do you give your seminars via the internet or something? all the best
