Was going for a while to flamenco classes to draw the dancers sat mornings. stopped because I needed to add english classes sat mornings, but I still kept in touch with the owner of the school and have been attending various events. love the scene, just could never afford to take classes myself, or take the time off teaching to continue practicing drawing. went to a "talent show" that they have every year, which is basically just a christmas party with some various people who are also on the periphery of the school mixing with the teachers and students. my second year going and my portuguese this time allowed me to participate a lot more. turns out I won a year's worth of free classes starting in 2014. The Lady is already hoping we can dance sevillanas at our wedding. not sure where I'm going to find time, but I feel this is a good winner. sevillanas isn't exactly flamenco, but it can be as even though it's supposedly older than flamenco sevillanas was greatly influenced by flamenco about 200 years ago. I'm kind of sort of looking forward to it. here's a reasonable video of it (better as a group starting at the 1min mark): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC3GGwvtH2I however, it's a group dance, but this one is damn cool (lady dancing alone with mirrors): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DWlngNFIdYYou have been serious for a while, but you've made a decsion? Definitely going to take the lessons, so yeah. But there are a couple of things in the works that may be fitting quite nicely into the business plan, unexpectedly so, but so regardless. We'll see what happens the next two years. Understand, you're taking dance lessons. :/
yeah, but these are dance lessons that could help me with the art project.

I even got a nice cab from a nearby winery this weekend... might need to crack that baby open.
Though with all the people leaving like the building is on fire, I've having trouble just keeping up with happy hours

Appears that I will have resolution soon. do tell or waiting for the real deal to tell? Waiting for teh real deal. fingers are crossed that we'll read good news tomorrow. Its all set. I'm going to City of Rocks.... er, Grand Targhee... er, Idaho Falls for work. Finally got a hold of the 2nd offer to let them know I selected the 1st offer. 4 months of nothing, then 2 offers with in a week.  Now we got to clean out 97 years of junk to get ready to move...  idaho falls!! that's almost utah!! anyhooo, close to city of rocks, one of my favourite places. maybe i'll join you for some climbing next year I thought you were going to visit Boulder.  i'll be couch surfing all over the place Swell. she'll need more than that to surf. what the hell does that mean? ewe can't surf a swell? *shrug* I can't believe the guy from freaking Utah was the first to get it. wut can I say...I read a lot. Hey Trash. Looks like I'll be rolling through Utah late Jan on the way north. I was kind of considering a stop at Red Rocks. But is there something in S Utah I should consider on my way up? noiZ will be the same distance from IF as OC, so a family trip again in several years is a possibility. I was wondering if there is something worth seeing or doing that is too hot during the summer, or not really a family thing. At first it seemed like the move was a long way off. Now it seems I won't have enought time to get it all together. So I'll see how much time I have for sightseeing on my way up.
Plenty of good climbing to do in teh Saint George area in January. Have you been to Snow Canyon?

Big milestone for me today. The last vestige of the State of New Hampshire's long arm of the law was a court ordered mandate to have an interlock breathalyzer installed for one year after regaining my driving privileges. After three years of not driving it was worth it, but having to blow into the damned thing to start my truck, then again 3-5 minutes later, and then randomly every 15 minutes or so thereafter was a major pain in the arse.
I did this every time I got in the Tundra, including my 10K mile cross country road trip pulling a large RV. Somehow the device always demanded that I blow during the most in opportune times, like while cornering, merging, navigating single width canyon roads, or during ice patches, but out of necessity I made my peace with it long ago. Acceptance works wonders.
So right now I am sitting in the sun on a bench outside of Whole Foods with the Flatirons and Front Range wearing their dusting of Winter whites as the guys at Car Toys remove that device. Soon I can focus on just driving without interruption, can let my truck idle and warm up while not sitting in the seat, and not paying the $65/month service fees.
It's a great day to be sober.
