West Coast Swing

I got a haircut at 10 this morning and there was no rush to get to the office afterward so we arrived at work at 12:30 this afternoon. I didn’t have a great deal to do but I took care of what housekeeping tasks I did have. Having eaten more than I should have the day before, I debated skipping lunch and eventually gave in an ordered a toasted club sandwich from Theo’s, which was very good because it was good or because I was starving.Dad took me to Elmwood for class this evening. Everyone in the class now has an internship. After going around doing progress reports, we looked over a couple lingering student’s resumes before watching a short video about cover letters. I got a ride to campus uptown and sat at the Rat for a while before ballroom this evening. This was the first week of west coast swing. And we had a crowd of about 40 show up. Tammy showed up with dance partner of hers, Byron if I remember right, who served as co-instructor for the evening. He changed things up and had the guys rotate around to change partners, a serious disturbance in the force. As for the dance itself, I’ve been in ballroom long enough to try west coast a couple times so the steps jogged my memory although it’s nothing like riding a bike. I did well enough to have fun. When the session ended, Tammy and Byron gave a short and impressive dancing demonstration. I caught a cab from Willow and McAlister to go home.

Nearly five months into the new year and here my first post of 2012. Over the last several months I lost one job and started looking for another one. I started going to the gym and exercising for the first time in my life. I thought I might lack the self discipline to keep up [...]

September 03: Denver in September
Today was the first of a five day trip to Denver with my friend Bianca. Tropical Storm Lee was moving towards the Louisiana coast today, bringing substantial but intermittent rain since yesterday. I wasn’t really worried about flight delays but I did think street flooding could keep us from the airport. The ride to the [...]

August 26: Progress
Nearly two months have passed since my last post. Seeing a June date on my homepage after all this time has finally compelled me to throw another entry on here. I had planned a nice little summary of my month of jury duty at Orleans Criminal District Court but I couldn’t muster the enthusiasm. I [...]
