    Good luck with the performance.
    Thanks Jerry. Went pretty good. Would have been better with a longer preparation.


    That’s quite a combination of things! For/to whom are you giving this talk?
    Greetings Emily. The event was a 10’th year celebration of a Mandarin class and Mahjong group. About 30 odd participants, many of whom performed with song or dance or musical instruments for the group. My tai chi was a hit, as it so often has been, because i’m friggin’ good. The chacha not so much, because i was roped in to partner a lady who wanted to do it, because i used to do it way back. I was very so-so, but the group seemed to like it. Thank goodness Latin dances are to display the lady and not the man. Ate and drank too much, but hey! it’s a party.

    It was 37 degrees [98.6 Fahrenheit] on Sat, so I walked down to the beach for a swim. Climate Change means this summer will be blistering hot with high fire danger. Whatever trump says, Climate Change is not a hoax.
