Big Fun!

Hey Zorba! Welcome back. You been lurking?

Partly. I haven't had the time for any of my five major boards that I would like. Two piano boards, two Belly Dance boards, and a sewing machine collector's board.

Be careful what you ask for - you may get it! I wanted to be a "working dancer", and I now am. I've been taking 3 dance classes a week, then I was inducted into a trupe, so that added a rehearsal. Then one of my dance sisters, Lana, decided to teach this wings/veil choreography - I couldn't pass that up. So now its 4 classes a week. Then my wife and I formed a troupe - so that's now 2 rehearsals a week. Then I got talked into teaching a veil workshop (veil is one of my specialties, but I don't normally teach) - so I gotta prep for that. And now I'm the house dancer at a local restaurant, so I'm practicing, performing, scheduling guest dancers, and coming up with new routines for that. Now my wife tells me that one of her co-workers has a close friend who just opened a new Moroccan place who wants dancers - so there's a vague possibility I'll be sucked into that - hopefully not as a regular, I'm not sure I could handle being house dancer and/or scheduler for two restaurants.

Then I had to choreograph a skirt dance for the troupe, blah, blah, blah. There's costuming issues with the troupe I joined and choreographies to learn, more choreographies for the troupe we formed. Thank Goddess I'm an improv dancer for my solo work. I just had my hair hennaed - and had to plan exactly when that could happen with everything else that's going on...

So if you kept up with all that, I'm still playing and tinkering with my piano - in fact my tuner is coming in about 1-1/2 weeks. I'd really like to find a Melodigrand or other mini-piano (acoustic, of course) for our second home in Florida. And I usually get talked into at least one performance when I'm there...

Oh yea, have written 2 articles of a 3 part series for a Belly Dance magazine. At this rate, I'll have to schedule potty breaks weeks in advance...

It doesn't look "real", and it certainly doesn't look like a Steinway. That said, she has the short stick in the wrong cup methinks...

Looks like she is going to need a really BIG Dampp-Chaser.
