With all the holiday party action, new jobs, and planning/prepping for Yuletide Ball Championships; I am afraid I have been lax in updating. Here is a batch mode update… This morning I had an unexpected adventure, just as I was finishing breakfast and feeding the fish, I discovered that my 30 gallon marine aquarium was […]
Dance-O-Rama with the Tysons/Vienna Arthur Murray school was terrific fun. Erci and I went with a group of 22 from our studio and danced until our feet were sore and danced a whole lot more. Blue Martini in Bally’s continues to serve excellent martinis, and it was probably a good thing (if mildly disappointing) that […]
Sorry it has been a while since my last update. There has not been much to write about. I have been busy at work wrapping up projects so they can be handed over cleanly. Been busy at home cleaning house and at the dance studios getting ready for Fall Showcase (last weekend) and Atlantic City […]
Since so many great people were canned in AOL’s irrational corporate action on Tuesday, we’ve been in a bit of shock at work, and remaining management is scrambling to figure out how to do the job with far less man-power (unlike previous layoffs, this one was random and hit many of the prime workers). I […]
Saturday Erci drove us up to Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia to stay at the posh Rittenhouse Hotel for a couple of nights. We’ll be visiting with Tasha (she took us to a restaurant Jim recommended). This hotel is posh. We were welcomed with champaign and strawberries. Our suite is like a small apartment. They brought […]
Last night I had lots of fun dancing Salsa-Rueda with Michele’s class at The Ballroom Studio in Centreville. We had two guys more than we had girls, but it was still loads of fun. I also had two excellent lessons with MJ and Dan at Tyson’s Corners Arthur Murray, one solo and one with Erci. […]
Fall Freestyles, Arthur Murray dance competitions are at Sheraton in Tyson’s Corners this coming Friday night and Saturday. We’ll be there. We are ready for Quickstep, not so ready for West Coast Swing…
I love my sutragirl, she scored tickets to “So You Think You Can Dance” live show at Wachovia Center in Philly October 7th at 7:30 (seats 1 & 2 in row 13 section 101). Join us if you want to watch some awesome dancing. I guess we need to find lodging in Philly – what […]
Well, Erci and I hosted Dan’s 40th Birthday Bash per arrangement made with Dan and Jeff a few months ago and it was a blast. We had something on the order of 60 people out, enjoying some Contra Dancing, some time in the pool, a lot of Erci’s cooking (Tiger Cried, yummmm!), and the company […]
Life has been good, Erci and I have simply been enjoying the good weather and using cool, sunny weekends to garden. We tackled the section of yard in front of the attached garage. Pulling up crab grass has been very challenging, but we’ve rescued some monkey grass and planted more. We had Merrifield Garden Center […]
