Living with my skin off

[cjsmith]

I've been extra sensitive lately, emotionally speaking -- not necessarily in very painful ways, but more like what happens after you shave your legs for the first time in a while and there's so much more you can feel.

Maybe there's just a lot going on in my life. It seems strange to say that, since if anyone asked what I was up to I'd probably say "nothing". But when I think a bit, it's not nothing; there's the job search, of course, and a whole bunch of things to improve the house, and a big square dance calling gig coming up, and I owe more e-mail to various people than I can shake a stick at. (Hey e-mail, see this stick? Ha! So there!)

Or maybe I should just lay off the caffeine.

Well, let's see. In the Los Angeles area in 1984 I completed Basic and Mainstream, and later that summer I did some kind of intermediate workshop (something between Mainstream and Plus, but I've forgotten the name). Then I moved to Minneapolis and met my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and started over again with him. I think we got partway through Plus. We got busy (started having kids, for one thing) and kind of drifted away from square dancing. But I've never forgotten how much I enjoyed it! So now I'm going to start over again (I definitely need a refresher!), with my sweetie oakdragon.

Are "Fun Dangles" still part of the activity? I always wanted to earn some of those. :-)

Oh cool! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much that you want to go back.

Yes, indeed, Fun Dangles are still around! They're made up and given out for all sorts of things: dancing in a swimming pool, dancing the old pattern Pickle Up a Doodle, etc. Find a dancer who's wearing some and ask how she got 'em. At the very least there's bound to be a chuckle or two in there. :-)
