I think we're going to take the beginners' class again in the spring and try to get it all down for real before we try something more advanced. I can do the steps, but I have a hard time relating them to the music sometimes. Also, the steps are often the opposite of what a boxer or a judoka would be doing. The last class is Thursday, and then we'll see.
Actually, there have been more improvements than I thought to mention. Losing that job stunk, but in addition to going back to school and getting my certification in order, I've also taken a job doing some writing, something I've always wanted to do. It doesn't pay the bills yet, but I have a dream. And my political advocacy group is incorporating as a non-profit, and I'm serving on the Board of Directors. We have a shoestring budget and no real idea what we're doing, but we're getting things done.
