Musings on Life in my Fifties . . .

Last night, a snappy little milonga came on. I looked around and everyone was out dancing except one rather curmudgeonly man who happens to be an excellent dancer. I just loved this very lively music so I went over to him and asked him to dance with me. Him ( with skepticism): “Do you think [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the meaning of the term “spring chicken”. It is for sure that when you are not a “spring chicken”, you should not stay up till 4 AM working on your blog. Last night, I was just addicted to getting the graphics done for my new blog [...]

Duane and I started Tango classes last year in September. Its pretty darn hot here in Atlanta in September and I was always drenched by halfway through the class. I guess I thought everyone was sweating and I was just sweating a bit more. Then over the next couple of months I quit sweating so [...]
