Friday Night Square Dance

I was calling for the Zig Zaggers in northern Virginia last night, my first time with the group. On the whole, it was a pretty good time!

It's never been a very large group but so early in the season, many folks are still travelling, away on vacation and so on so it's smaller than usual. In fact, having kent4str and cuyahogarvr with me ensured we had five couples.

It's generally an older club than I'm used to calling for so I chose moderately paced music but per justetthon's advice, I didn't exercise much restraint on the harder material. There were errors but they were occasional and more or less evenly distributed so I chalk it up to random chance. In at least on case, much pain would have been saved if I had just read my own materially correctly... doh! Memo to self: scoot & dodge != scoot & weave. :-)

We'll be back for dancing on the rare Fridays our schedule is clear, especially if cuyahogarvr is in town.

Green Card Replacement

I was at the local INS office for 8 AM this morning for my appointment to replace my green card. In all, it was a fairly efficient and quick affair: show the letter designating my appointment at that office along with photo ID, complete an additional service request form and wait for a short while before being electronically fingerprinted and having a new photo taken. I was out of there by 8:20 AM.

My replacement card should arrive in December.

Now to work on replacing my passport...
