A Busy month.......The Fiesta Thing went well......I had some major dental
issues.......The busiest part is Kid # 1 's
Wedding plans, hence a long time between blogs............I have started a
facebook site- This will allow us to communicate closer to real time
CLICK to find my site -You must belong to chat - The blog here will migrate
to square dance issues only

My gosh- I cannot believe how narrow minded, oblivious so called "callers and
cuers" can be. I participate in a
discussion group of SD issues and while in many, many, many, many areas-the
activity is dying, these morons continue to smile and say "all's well at my
club"-but "gee we wish we had visitors".......................THE VISITORS CLUB
FOLDED. THEY QUIT DANCING...............all while "everything is OK at my
club"...........Come on folks PAY ATTENTION to your surroundings, Your situation
and your recreation ...........if you really want this SD to go
on............(Disclaimer- This is not a Central California group-BUT -Wake up
before it is us)...............Strangely Fun(ny?) Night tonight at
Whirlaways-You just had to be there ( A comment made was "I used to think SD was
for all-I Don't anymore) This is VERY true, there is a point when a
decline in ability (mental or physical) must be taken into account for the good
of all involved- Sad But TRUE
