A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
How wonderfully different! Some of those amazingly contorted/yet graceful moves reminded me of Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" - these guys would have been right at home in that sketch!
It's funny that you posted a tango, as yesterday I came across a lovely quote by Julia Child that quite reminds me of you: "People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life". I think the same can be said for those who don't get dance. The tango (and good food) lovers exhibit such a zest for life and love, don't they? Quite like yourself, Mr. Loon.

Oh! That was wonderful! I loved it!
Please don't make me wait so long for another dance...

Thanks for the dance. May I have the next?
