Pinewoods
The time has come once again, my friends, for Pinewoods! Which is to say, from tomorrow midday through the following week and weekend, I will be more or less completely incommunicado due to being off in the middle of the woods having a glorious time dancing my feet off. (Not literally. Even if I do have a pair of red shoes.) I'll have my cell phone, which means I could take a call in a real emergency and have limited email access, but let's be honest; email is not going to be my top priority, even aside from the facts of poor reception and a teeny phone keyboard.
I have a long packing list, a mercifully shorter but still long to-do list, and a whole bunch of gleeful anticipation. It's a full week of vacation which involves pretty scenery, lots of dancing, and a lot of friends I don't get to see very often. What's not to love? Except the mosquitoes and the weather report of 80-degree days, but, uh... oh well.
Speaking of dancing, I passed my candidate exam! So I'm now a Level One teacher, which everybody and their cousin calls a prelim because the old system had much catchier names. Thank you to everyone for the good wishes, and I promise not to blather about the RSCDS teaching certification system (oh, the bureaucracy) at you any more, at least until I go for my Level Two/full. (And if any of you are coming to Pinewoods, I'm teaching the Saturday class on The Pinewoods Reel Demystified, if that's relevant to your interests.)
