I had another Jori lesson on Tuesday.  But this time instead of jumping on the red eye boat at 6am and driving down to his teaching studio for my 11am lesson, I just sat at my kitchen counter and logged onto the Internet.  Yep, no waking up at the crack of dawn, waiting in line, on the ferry, dodging morning commuters on I-5, I didn't even have to put my pants on!

The way it works is you load up a free software called "Skype", configure your Web Cam and Microphone and at your scheduled time ring up your instructor!  I was skeptical at first but it really works, and works quite well.  Every so often I will make the trip down for an in person lesson to take care of things that you just can't do over the web, but for the most part video lessons are the way to go.
