Miscellaneous Little Things

After work, I dropped by a local watch shop for a little work on two watches. The watch given to me by my Dear Employer needed six links taken out of the watch band; it now fits perfectly. A watch [livejournal.com profile] kent4str gave me some years ago needed a new battery; it now works. :-)

Last night, [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr and I danced Advanced with John Marshall and the Phantom 8s. As expected, we had a fun time dancing and I tried very hard to remember as many little choreographic tricks as I could. Chatting with John & Mary is always a hoot and I'm sure he'll do well as incoming Callerlab chair beginning next Wednesday.

Comcast has pissed off [livejournal.com profile] kent4str once too often. Now that they're switching Cartoon Network to their digital line-up, we either had to upgrade our Comcast service (already $65/month) or toss them overboard to go with a satellite service. The satellites won: we're going with Dish Network. We have an installation appointment for next Thursday.

Our Harper's Ferry Hoedown venue nightmare may soon be over. We have a candidate site selected in the general area of the last venue, has wood dance floors and reasonable rental charges. The search committee seems to be in agreement so now it's a matter of getting a contract. More news when it happens.
