Oops – Was really was writing again to express how thankful I am to be on a terrific team at work, and then work got away from me (I am oncall again this week) and I did not leave until 10pm Thursday. However, Friday was page and interrupt free (yahoo!) and that meant serious focus […]
It’s been too long since I wrote anything meaningful hear, sorry. I’ll make a determination to write more frequently this year. To celebrate the winter season I decided to work on some of Erci‘s honey-do-list for me a bit, so I began wiring up and connecting all the unconnected speakers in our house. It’s what […]
I have always been a Squirrel Nut Zippers fan, they make some great swing and quickstep music. I just discovered they are good at adapting their music to meet the needs of the day with “Have You Had Enough?” It takes a minute to get to the words of the song, but you’ll like it. […]
I just realized it has been way too long since I last updated my journal/web log. Sorry about that, it has been because life has been full and fun and keeping me away from the computers. The two weeks after we came back from Mike and Joan’s wedding in Las Vegas have been crazy-insanely busy […]
Last night Erci and I went to see Noche Flamenca at Wolf Trap after a quiet sushi dinner at Hama Sushi (which has become our favorite regular sushi restaurant). The saki and sushi were terrific, and helped Erci calm down from a particularly harrowing day at work (her team is immersed in a sense of […]
Last night we went and saw the musical Chicago at Wolf Trap, it was very well done. I have sympathy for the performers and musicians for having to perform in the beastly heat and humidity (by opening number it had cooled down to 85F, but was still close to 90% humidity). The buffet at Ovations […]
What an incredible feeling. I’ve been taking dance lessons for roughly 10 years and I have always had fun with it. Last night I entered the full silver/gold level all-arounds and lucked into Foxtrot, Viennese, Samba, and Bolero! They do not usually do Samba, but it is one of my favorite dances. I danced the […]
I am trying to figure out the right way to get certain parts of our travel plans published so that people can join us or make plans with us easier. I am stumbling around here, but I’ll try a post first, then figure out how to put it in my sidebar later. February 11th and […]
Erci and I spent yesterday and last night at the Fall Showcase and Medalist Ball put on by the Arthur Murray studio we’ve gone to since May of 1996. As usual, the event was very well run and the dancing was more beautiful than usual. Erci and I piled on the Tango routines for this […]
In general I like the trend amongst advertisers that have finally figured out that dancing is cool! Recently I have seen Michelin tire commercials and BASF commercials with Tango dancing. Now there is this re-make of the old Gene Kelly “Singing in the Rain” number from Volkswagon (Golf GTI Commercial). Pretty awesome dance moves, though […]
