movin on up...

but not quite to a "deluxe apartment in the sky."

instead, to one of 5 possible apartments in holyoke, massachusetts. i got a part time job working for horizons for homeless children and i can't wait. my own place, a job, a real winter complete with snow, being less than 3 hours from NYC where my two best friends live. hooray!

i officially accepted the offer today. i'll be outta here by tuesday.

shwing baby

last night was a wonderful night: an 18 piece big band, "rosy the riveter" style girls handing out cracker jacks, getting to wear pearls and a fedora, new friends, new moves. oh, good times indeed.

kennesaw state had a great swing dance with a 1940's war times theme. i attended with an old friend from high school who i hadn't seen in over 4 years. there was of course some east coast swing and i learned to lindy hop and charleston and taught john the carolina shag.

this was exactly what i needed.
