Dancing this Week

This is a relatively light week for square dancing: it's one of those rare occasions where we'll be attending a lot of events but rarely on the microphone.

We have a Plus class tonight. If all goes well, we'll teach 'coordinate,' 'explode the wave/explode &' and 'peel the top.'

Tuesday, we're planning to attend John Marshall's Phantom 8s for Advanced dancing.

Thursday, we have a DC Diamond Circulate 2009 convention dinner meeting before returning home to pack.
Thursday, we're going to Plus/Advanced night with DC Lambda Squares 'cause cuyahogarvr will beat me if we don't.

Friday morning, we're off to Los Angeles for the annual CALLERLAB convention. If nothing else, I'm looking forward to being out of town for a few days.

Going to Los Angeles!

cuyahogarvr, kent4str and I are buzzing into LA Friday night, departing next Wednesday evening. Anyone LA-based want to try getting together for dinner & cocktails?

Local Ice Skating

In the past, I had talked about finding a place where I could go skating during lunch. While I had the public skating schedule for the Frederick, MD, arena, I hadn't checked out the facility yet. Work was light earlier today so it seemed an opportune time for a road trip.

It's a fairly nice and modern facility, although if I had gone skating today, I would have been the only person on the ice.

Anyone else interested in joining me for ice skating in Frederick, MD, periodically, 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM? We'd have the place to ourselves!

I'm looking forward to the extra exercise. There's no doubt my weight is gradually edging upwards --pigging out on weapons-grade girl scout thin mints obviously hasn't helped-- but it's largely from my lack of strenuous physical activity. I've been hovering (hoovering?) around 185 lbs for a while: it's time to downsize to about 170.

The rink, however, is surrounded by Roy Rogers, Dairy Queen, Five Guys burgers, Cold Stone Creamery and a grocery store. They aren't making this easy.

BTW, on a lark, I drove back to the office along 355 southbound. I was pleasantly surprised how nice areas of north Frederick and historic Frederick can be. Who knew? :-)
