Hm. I didn't realize that contra dancing had a lot of similarities to square dancing, except in two facing lines instead of a square. Not that I danced tonight... I just watched. Completely inhibited, in contrast to a week ago... here I didn't know the jargon, moves, or etiquette in a relatively structured setting. But I saw 7patches and the_ogre there, as well as at Peninsula Creamery afterwards for a late dinner/early breakfast...

Should I start wearing tight Lycra shorts?

One side effect of having only one 4-seater car in a household of 5 is that I've needed to bike to places -- work on Friday, church today. It's only about 5-8km, nearly flat, so an easy ride. Except I haven't done this in years... my calves are a bit sore.

After riding my son James's bicycle, today I was finally motivated to get my old 1975 10-speed back in operating condition... I replaced the seat and all of the cables this afternoon.
