Into the Autumn of 07

What a summer. Full of music and travels. From Tennessee to Vermont. Plenty of banjo and parties.

But mostly a sense of getting my life back; of having the energy to get going again.
Really had to cut back and drop all the computer activity, or should I say inactivity. I really think there is something to the theory of needing to burn off the adrenalin that computer anxiety can send coursing through your system, whether from game playing or virtual socializing. Enough is enough.

So as of spring it was back to the woods. Back to the arts. back to creatively expressing myself and doing it in a physical context.

This fall I have returned to contra dancing. Something I did extensively in the past but had drifted away from since the creation of a family and raising of a young daughter. I remember dancing with her in a sling until she became too heavy. Then there was a time when she was 7 or so and she wanted to dance but because of her small size, men would pick her up during a swing. This just wouldn't do and she no longer wished to go. Well now she is close to 14 and can hold her own on the dance floor. It is the finest aerobic exercise I can think of.
