I do agree with Renew and PIB, he may be getting in the pool very slowly because he remembers what Bruce looks like, and the sheer memory might make his slower. I think it is a great thing if he even goes, building the connection little by little.
I do understand your desire to "get something" out of your time and investment, I would guess you are going to achieve that no matter what. You have a great way of being able to pick and choose what works for you and apply it to real life.
