Tuesday Night Fever
It is with no small degree of trepidation that I can announce that I am learning to dance - mostly swing and jive.
This exciting and unprecedented development arises for several reasons:
1.) I like it.
2.) It will make Alicey, with her continuing and much appreciated concern that I actually get into a relationship with a woman before my 50th birthday, happy. Actually, that's a little overstated. She'd probably be fine if I turn out to be gay just so long as I hurry the fuck up.
After one lesson, the instructor commented that I was 'very good'. No-one, dear reader, is more shocked by this news than I. Perhaps its because I've just decided that the jive is simply a branch of martial arts.
How long will this last? I don't know. The course is six weeks long. The dancing is pretty funny, the people seem cool.
Stay tuned for further developments. Mockery and derision are welcomed and will be met with patient tolerance and a sharp smack in the back of the head when you least expect it.
Until then sweet friends, adieu.

Is that where: if you successfully string 6 jive moves together, you get to scream 'Hado-KAN!' then spin the girl over your head and throw her into a wall?
Step-step-step, step, eye gouge, step, step, block, punch, step-step, spinning-backwards-roundhouse.

Yup.
Bruce Lee was a champion cha cha dancer in his day.
