About the Watering Hole
The Watering Hole is police slang for a location cops go off-duty to blow off steam and talk about work and life. Sometimes funny; sometimes serious; but, always interesting.

It was billed as “Grand Master- Gary Alexander & I.A.M.A. Board of Directors Hall of Fame Banquet & Awards Ceremony. On Nov. 17th, the International Association of Martial Arts inducted several martial art icons, including legendary practitioner/actor, Chuck Norris.
Area martial arts Master, Larry Waimon, was “pleasantly shocked” when “Shihan”, (Grand Master), Alexander notified me that I would be receiving a Hall of Fame award”; (the event held in Woodbridge, NJ). The award was presented to Waimon for his 40+-year involvement in the martial arts, specifically in the category of: Sr. Master, Police Tactics & Strategies. Waimon was granted title of Sr. Police Academy Instructor by the Chief of Police Association in Essex County, NJ, back in the mid-70’s.
Under the private tutelage of the 1964 Olympic Judo Champion & Coach, Momoru Shimamoto, Waimon received his Black Belt in 1975. “Once I started my police career, I quickly grasped the notion that the “bad-guys”, weren’t going to bow to me before whacking me on the noggin with a crow bar! I quickly changed my style to Goshin Justsu, which literally means- “Self Defense”, and is what the Japanese Police train in. Ever since, I’ve shared my skills & teachings with thousands of police recruits & veterans. Though never my livelihood, I have always maintained a nucleus of students, mostly comprised of “former” battered wives, victims of rape and molestation, bullied kids, or simply those who couldn’t afford the tuition for such training… Since retiring to the area, my focus has always been to make “difference”, not to make money. It remains my intention to educate ALL area citizens, and have furnished Safety/Prevention seminars all throughout both Warren & Washington County. From the mid-80’s on, I’ve provided such training at most area high schools & civic organizations and “always” remain available to furnish this for any group who request it; (there’s “never” a fee).
The ideology here is one initially fostered back in 1860 by Charles Dickens: “Prevention is better than Cure”, i.e., if you can “prevent” an attack or altercation, you can avoid the need to address a “physical” response. All seminar participants are “astonished” to realize how simple it is to “avoid” tragedy, and physicality/ability & technique are not the significant part of my presentations. Attendees are “astonished” to realize that about 90% of all assaults can be either avoided all together, or greatly mitigated by such “awareness” training! Most importantly, I teach all to adapt a “proactive” vs. “reactive” mind-set…
My “promise” to all who attend, is that they will know “more” about self-empowerment & defense upon leaving the event, than they knew coming into it! All have a great time, and no one ever gets hurt!
That said, on December 15th. I plan to offer the most ambitious seminar & fundraiser I’ve ever involved myself in. This will be a “family oriented event, and is neither gender nor age specific. A $10 per person donation will be appreciated, and for a family of up to 4 members, $25 is requested. 100% of funds raised will be benefiting a Gulf War Vet, Christopher Gibeault of Glens Falls. I read his recent commentary in the Post Star; it accentuated the “outrage” many of us feel re: how returning war vets are being treated, (or mis-treated re: their care or lack-there-of). Chris suffers from various injuries, but most notably, in inability to chew food. In part due to the ravages of Diabetes, he has few remaining teeth, and constant infection is adding to his suffering. My goal is to raise enough to pay for dentures; this cost is $2,400.
To help kick this effort off, I’ve already discovered some “heroes” in our midst, those who like myself, wish to offer more than mere kind words or outrage. Dan Saville of Glens Falls, a Trustee of the Eagles Club in So. Glens Falls, asked and received permission, “without charge”, to use the Eagles Club facility to hold the event. Additionally, the October fest Committee of American Legion Post 574 of Hudson Falls has pledged $200 towards this effort. But my dentist, Dr. Mitchell Cohen, (Lake George & Ft. Edward), truly has “stunned” me with his selflessness! Dr. Cohen, (a Marine Vet himself), has already provided the initial assessment & has taken x-rays. He will take the impressions and extract his remaining teeth, & do all the periodic denture adjustments for the next 6 months, “without charge”!
For those wishing to attend this seminar on the 15th. The address is 80 Main Street, So Glens Falls; it will be held at 2:00pm and please call me for further details and to make reservations. I can be reached at: 761-6735. If you can’t make this event but wish to help, please feel free to call me. For any local companies who wish to offer such training for their staff, again, I urge you to call. Truly, this is a Win/Win event for both participants and this deserving Vet. It’s “our” chance to finally do more for these returning veterans than to merely offer “verbal” support or appall over the way they’re being neglected…
Seminar Of The Century - Woodstock For The Mind is now history and it goes down as one of the most enlightening and refreshing parties I've ever attended!
Harv's really outdone himself this time! It was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of T. Harv Eker's big dream! This seminar is something he's been talking about since he was very young. I've had my ticket for 2 1/2 years!
An all-star lineup of speakers and entertainment kept us dancing, laughing and crying for 3 solid days!
This is a picture of "the hill" where we gathered each day and evening...
We all sat in our Seminar Of The Century orange beach chairs, the weather went all around us except for a few minutes on the last day.
I was in the company of lots of old friends and met some very cool new friends! I LOVE the Peaks bubble!
Bob O' was in da' house!! We've been attending Peak's seminars together for over 2 years!
To my delightful surprise my friend Grazyna showed up for the party! We haven't thrown our arms around each other for well over a year!
It's always great to create new connections! Adam from Oregon shared my space for a good part of the weekend.
During the daytime we were put in front of masters such as:
Alan Cohen
The author of 20 bestselling inspirational books and CD's, including the best-selling "The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and the award-winning "A Deep Breath of Life". He is a contributing writer for the New York Times bestselling series "Chicken Soup for the Soul". Alan's syndicated column, From The Heart, appears in new thought magazines internationally.Buzz Aldrin
Still going strong, telling his story and heading up projects to put our children into space! He has written a children's book around his story that fan's the flames of their dreams!Michael Gerber
Business visionary, entrepreneur, best-selling author and Chairman of E-Myth Worldwide, Michael Gerber has been leading a Small Business Revolution before anyone knew there was one!Mark Victor Hanson & Jack Canfield
Co-creators of the "Chicken Soup For The Soul" series of books! Jack Canfield is a speaker in the movie "The Secret".Art Linkletter
Art Linkletter - an abandoned orphan from Moosejaw Canada, kept us all in stitches with his stories of his life's experiences! At 95, he sat on stage and inspired us all with his long-term plans going forward - he's booked right up until his 100th birthday! He's just released a new book with Mark Victor Hanson, "Make The Rest Of Your Life The Best Of Your Life"Les Brown
I first heard Les Brown speak at my first Amway function about 12 years ago. I bought his tapes back then and listened to them more than once! He's even better now, 12 years later with more wisdom and experience to share than ever! His story is still inspiring and moving...Bob Proctor
"Change is inevitable. Personal Growth is a Choice." It's the first time I've heard Bob Proctor speak live. A Toronto native that's been teaching "Law of Attraction" for over 40 years! I read his book "You Were Born Rich" many years ago and still recommend it to others today!Barbara D'Angelis
Barbara De Angelis - Courage, Healing, Energy, Wisdom I really resonated with Barbara. I'd heard of her before and hadn't focused on what she had to offer. As I experienced her speaking I was hit with the realization that I desire to hear from more women in the personal evolution training industry! And, did you know...she used to be married to John Gray?! She and John shared the stage for the first time since they went their separate ways 25 years ago! It was a powerful healing and reunion.John Gray
One of the most entertaining speakers! Author of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" (one of my all-time favorite books!). His teachings are at a basic level so it was good to see him demonstrate what I read in his book! Especially with his first love Barbara De Angelis as a role-play partner! He brought new information about what we know of the differences in brain chemistry between men and women.David Wolfe
Chocolate is the hot topic again! The author of "Naked Chocolate" was there serving up his healthy smoothies and educating us on the value and benefit of REAL food.T. Harv Eker
And finally at the end, T. Harv himself spoke about how to live a happy life! He had his family along with him and was vibing high all weekend, his smiles were wider than ever and he emitted an energy of pride as the weekend unfolded. He even got up and played some air guitar and sang with the bands!I found a quiet and fun place to hang out at break times...I sat at the edge of a tall rock garden where 4 baby chipmunks were running around eating the tops off the daisies...they were tiny and adorable. They got used to my still presence and posed for the camera for me eventually.
In the evenings we rocked the mountain to some of the world's finest musicians!

Harv with his air guitar...he sure did have fun at his party on the mountain!
Have you ever stood in the snow in the hot sun in a sun-dress?
(If you're male, you don't have to answer that...)
This was the view from my office yesterday morning as I typed to you...
This was the view this morning...
Yesterday in my post, I said, "I'm here atop the Rocky Mountains"...well...I guess I spoke too soon, I wasn't quite at the top yet!! :) Yesterday we drove up to Aspen and Snowmass from our inn in Leadville, on the way we were privileged to traverse "Independent Pass". Great place to be as a free and independent entrepreneur on Independence Day eh?!
I got to drive the Mustang all the way up the side of a mountain!! The road was narrow, there was no guard rail and Andrea was mighty nervous! I thought it was a blast - just like the movies! I always wondered what it would be like to drive a road like that! :) "Ask & It Is Given" Always, no exception!
We did finally make it to the top - over 12,000 feet at the summit! There we ran into a couple of our roommates! It was a great surprise and we found out they were the ones that made the slide mark just before us in the same snowbank we had just finished playing in!
The perfect spot to meditate...
Aspen is one of the most beautiful and affluent cities I've visited so far. The energy and atmosphere are welcoming and relaxing. I can see where living here would have me in a perpetual state of calm and bliss. The new homes being built on the mountain sides are breathtaking! Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the car while we were there... :( I'm pretty sure we'll go back for a visit on Monday after the seminar so I'll definitely get some pics then! Here's some fresh shots of this evening's office view! We've checked in to a gorgeous condo on the golf course, we're a ways away from the seminar site, the whole 3000 acres is booked solid as 1000's fly in for the event!
Tonight we're off to a free concert at the seminar site by Nelly Furtado's brother Tony! The seminar kicks off tomorrow morning bright and early! I can't wait!
