This is the LYNDY HOP

Last night over 30 dancers came out to learn the Lyndy Hop at Kokopellis on Broughton Street. Below is a sample of what this dance looks like.

Another new favorite website

www.meetup.com

A great place to meet people in your zip code that share the same interests. I have signed up for opera, Italian, media, journalism, photo, dance and public relations.

USA WEIGHTLIFTING

Last night, my friend Kerri Goodrich, CEO of Performance Initiatives gave me one of the USA Weightlifting warm-up suits. Kerri participated in the Olympics a few years ago, now she trains young people for the Olympics.

I actually looked forward to working out this morning at the YMCA, wearing this really, really cool warm up suit. It is dark blue, and on the back of the jacket it says in huge letters, USA WEIGHTLIFTING. I probably could lift BIG weights wearing this~

She said she made me an honorary member of the team, for the PR coaching we gave them.

Thank you Kerri!

Snow and Flowers

Carol got 8 inches of snow in Troy, NY yesterday

Savannah got new red  and purple azalea buds. SPRING IS HERE!

Indoor Camping

I pulled my couch closer to the fireplace and enjoyed the last half hour of the warm flames. Jefferson was asleep in his dog bed about a foot away. He would occasionally open his eyes to make sure I had not walked back to the bedroom. As the fire faded, the sound of the rain increased. It banged on the window, the roof, and the tin, chimney-cover. It was a perfect mix for sleep.

At 8am I finally opened my eyes. The fire was out, and so was the sun. Jefferson was signaling to go outside. The bushes, trees, and grass were all shiny and still dripping from the spring-bath given by Mother Earth. The sound of chattering birds came from the hedge by the tidal creek. The sun caused me to squint, after 2 days of rain.

A photo from Davy’s iphone – in my new office

I found this picture of Matteo, who died Jan 9

Matteo took this picture after he cut my hair last summer.

Dave leaves for California today

Safe travels! I want to go next time!

Wet Cat

Somehow my gray and white indoor tabby cat got outside. When Aragon arrived at the door he was drenched. I can’t believe he didn’t have enough sense to get under a porch or a car. It is going to take two days for him to “dry-out”

Can’t wait for my next dance lesson – what GREAT exercise!
