We went out dancing Friday night. There are lots of events the week before Halloween, so the lindy scene tends to be even more of a party than it usually is. Folks are dressed up in costumes that make them sweat half to death while they dance. Really good dancers turn out after months of [...]

If I had waited until tomorrow, it would’ve been six months since my last blog update. Nathan’s been dead-listing people, and I find I don’t like being dead-listed.
