This morning we walked from Avalon to the Wrigley Botanical Gardens.
As I got dressed I was thinking about what we should do today. I really love the music of the 30’s and 40’s because that is what I heard in my house as a kid. My father was a musician in the army during World [...]

We’re spending New Years on Catalina, courtesy of our friend Ed Moore – who is treating us to 3 nights at the Avalon hotel as a wedding present. He’s Marky’s longest time friend and a really good person.
Yesterday I got a message from my sister that my mother was having a “procedure” where they were [...]

My friend and ballroom student, Jennifer Ross is (among other things) a master seamstress. Her Christmas gift to us this year was specialized homemade aprons made with the image of our respective occupations. Mine has ballroom dancers, feathers and beads. Mark’s has leather pockets and images of motorcycle racers all over it! We love them. [...]

All night I was waking up, dreaming about dancing…what the next dance will be…how to keep it interesting. I saw myself using one of the sturdy tables at the studio and that was it. Then this morning I checked my email and there was a song request for “History Repeating” by Shirley Bassey and The [...]

Some of my concerns about this project right now are that each day this week I’ve bumped up the [...]

What a great gift I got this morning, the day after Christmas while I’m still lounging in my bed at a time where I recently have been in the studio dancing. I opened my messages on FB and there he was…dancing joyfully for us all. Thanks Rob, I love this one.

Merry Christmas everyone! Today we had an open Freebox dance and quite a few of my dance friends came out to play…we had a great time. This one goes out to Mari Holbrooke because she requested that I dance to this song. Our group this morning was in fine form and we played a lot [...]

Today I played with editing together several dances and adding music over the top. The part where Marky and I are dancing together was actually danced to this song, the other parts were not – go figure! I find it pretty amazing that it fits so well. Music is essentially all written in the same [...]

Ok, so I had another camera angle and was desperately trying to edit them together, but the lesson for me is keep it simple! In order to maintain my commitment I have to avoid making myself and everyone else involved (thank you Marky!) crazy. So here it is, raw and unadorned. Dance 10.

Today was the San Diego boat parade which my friend Ron participates in every year. So here we are, Jennifer, Ron, Marky and me dancing on Ron’s sailboat in the boat parade. We had more footage, but due to technical difficulties this is all I could post. It’s quite fun to watch …
