I'm procrastinating at the moment. The only thing I have left on my to-do list for today is my portion of my annual performance evaluation in which I write my what-I-did-this-year report. It's relatively easy since I keep extensive work logs, but it's still a pain. Talking about square dancing is more fun.

[livejournal.com profile] kent4str was calling for the DC Lambda Squares last night so [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr and I were on our own. C2 last night was much smoother than the prior week: both [livejournal.com profile] cuyahogarvr and I were sharper, the floor generally seemed more relaxed (although we were scrounging for a last dancer or two to complete a third square) and even John Marshall seemed to be better rested and clearer of mind.

Review of prior calls took a little longer than usual, but now that we're somewhere above 20 calls, that's not unexpected. A couple of people were having difficulty with swap the wave --it doesn't flow as elegantly as most other calls-- and grand chain eight. I suspect in the latter case, some folks just aren't seeing/waiting for the formation; as well, stepping to a lefty formation by default runs against pre-C2 well-rehearsed habits of taking right hands. In any case, more floor time and practice will iron out the rough spots.

We had three new calls -- perk up, with the flow and alter & circulate-- all of which were absorbed relatively well.

Tonight, I'm heading to Baltimore to call for the Chesapeake Squares, our last calling commitment until mid-December.

I probably should do these things when I'm tired & brain-dead, but what the hell...

On [livejournal.com profile] allanh's prompting, I finally got off my butt to create a Facebook group for DC Diamond Circulate 2009.

When I'm a little more awake, I'll try to see about uploading a rough schedule, posting our list of staff callers, etc..
