Thanks, and yeah, I believe that someday they will get easier. My kickup is getting more floaty and controlled... there's still a little kick but it feels more like 'rock forward and press', rather than 'kick as hard as humanly possible and pray' which is where I was in summer 05.

Your shoulders, grrr! They are so upsetting they upset me. I really really hope that you can do something to get them better.
