This weekend we had a workshop scheduled in Gaithersburg. On Friday I realized that I was under the weather, and began medicating. I had some chicken and stars soup, and took a nap. Got more laundry done and packed. I did not take my dance boots or 501s as I had made up my mind that I would stay in on Saturday night to get myself better. Sorry ( Read more... )

I guess I should consider our recent trip to San Francisco the vacation of this year. Being unemployed, I did not arrange any major excursion. We chose to attend the gay west coast advanced and challenge fly-in because of various friends that we knew were planning to be in attendance. I checked in with my friend Rob and he agreed to host us for ( Read more... )

We had two consecutive square dance weekends. We drove down to Gaithersburg for a workshop. David Avery from Texas attended as a guest. Linda even showed up for a bit, and called some. justetthon took charge of meals again and we had barley smothered chicken and a crocked eggplant dish ( Read more... )

I just booked flights/hotel for the gay A&C west coast fly-in!

Who else is going?

For non-square dancers - this means we'll be in San Francisco Sept 18-22. Most dancing is done near the airport, but that Sunday evening we may be free to meet up with some LJ folk!

We had a C2 dance on our Anniversary and I called a C3 workshop on my Birthday (Carol R. was in town and danced with Patrick).  I guess we're pretty dedicated to square dancing, huh?  Patrick and I met through this activity and we're still enjoying it ( Read more... )

Tonight we fly out to Chicago for a quick workshop.  Unfortunately, we will be wheel-less and in Willowbrook? so we will miss out on an opportunity to hang in Boy's Town.   

We were on the road by 6:30PM on Thursday the 3rd once Patrick got out of work. We arrived at the hotel in Cleveland at 2AM and went right to bed.

Friday morning we skipped the Opening Ceremonies and Grand March and hit the gym instead where we ran across zzbear. We then headed over to the food court for lunch and dined with apparentparadox and Mark. It was then ( Read more... )

We'll be driving, so I don't have to worry about baggage restrictions.  Our time there will be quick though, so I don't need that much stuff.  We'll be driving after Patrick gets out of work tomorrow and then driving back on Sunday.

Microbiology begins on Monday morning.

Looking forward to seeing my square friends! 

Had a great weekend full of dancing two weekends ago. Our workshop consisted of only the 8 of us, but we burned material. justetthon did most of the meals which were all colorful and healthy. I ate various beans, quinoa, and acorn squash for the first time ( Read more... )
