Busy Morning

In recognition of my 5th anniversary as a full time employee of my Dear Employer, I was allowed to select my choice of a gift. After consulting with the hubbies to see if there was any household item in the selection we could use (and determined there was not), I opted to chose something just for myself:



In other news, we checked with the host hotel for the 2009 IAGSDC convention per Ken Ritucci's request. Sadly, the meeting room spaces are already sold for the days following the convention so it seems we either have to have the GCA caller school in the days preceding per our usual timing or find outside space. The latter being expensive, I suspect the GCA board will opt for the former.

Our newest DC Lambda Squares caller Abe F. asked me to digitize a number of square dance 45 rpm records for him. He lacks a turntable but does have a computer so I'll record the stack to MP3 format and make a CD of the lot. I figure I'm about half-way done so far.

Around 2 PM, we're heading over to Jim & Joseph's place for February birthday celebrations and their annual chili-fest!

The collection so far is good basic stuff: some melody and distinct beats. I haven't heard anything which catches my ear as a good singer, but I'm still trying to figure out where Abe's tastes lay in that particular area so I'm in no position to critique at all.

kent4str and I have plenty of good stuff in our collection which we don't use because it isn't our style or taste; it might be Abe's so we'll share with him pieces we aren't using. Whatever he doesn't take we can give to the caller school for their share box in Cleveland, esp since we're driving there insteady of flying.
