DCDI: Smooth
Well, I am back from DCDI. This morning, we dance Bronze Smooth. Didn't get a call back for Waltz or Tango, and we nixed Viennese Waltz, as xxxdamagedgoods is coming down with something nasty. However, we placed fifth in Fox Trot. Given that our Waltz and Tango are on par with our Fox Trot... Yeah, I can't explain it, either... Anyway, we now have our first ribbon of thi

Lots of little things...I'm starting to look forward to DCDI this weekend. Specifically, I'm looking forward to actually competing and otherwise occupying my time with reading and writing. I'm just wishing I was thinner...On that note... My sleep cycle is balancing out somewhat. Also, I don't know if it's the reduction in outdoor temperature or what, but I've had to lengthen the route I take for my walk to get in the requisite amount of time. This means I am walking faster. I've also noticed a slight increase in the speed I use on the treadmill on the weekends. This is mostly good. My feet are disagreeing, and I'm thinking I should really make an effort to ge
