Where did two monhs go?

I clicked on this blog and realized that my last post was back at the end of August.  That's what happens when my sailing events ramp up.  As for skating it's same old, same old.  I'm still polishing the Cha-Cha with the possibility of testing on the 8th of December--so that's a bright spot.

The other two pre-bronze dances, namely the Swing Dance and the Fiesta Tango are waiting for my right forward inside Mohawk to report for duty.  It's still wonky, if slightly improving.  It's a road block.  Progress won't happen until I can routinely control it.  I have a beautiful left forward inside Mohawk but like NACAR, pattern dances go CC.  Oh, I suppose sooner or later it will come up to scratch, just like the Rhythm Blues tuck behinds did.  Will I live long enough?  Good question.  Watch this space.

Meanwhile, tonight is Halloween and Coach A. has canceled all her lessons so she can hand out goodies to the kiddies that come by her door begging for treats.  We'll see if I still remember how to tie my boots by next week.  Ta for now.

  1. I, on the other hand, have a really great RIGHT forward inside mohawk! Maybe we should just do a "mirror" dance. Good to hear from you again, George!

  2. Either that or we should just trade Mohawks for a little bit!

    1. I'm a repressed lefty. I was part of the last generation that got their hands smacked for picking up the pencil during penmanship class with the left hand. My 3-turns, Mohawks, etc. are all better going CC. Is that because my brain is cross wired or because my right leg is dominate??? Hard to say. Last week I asked my chiropractor for some simple Theraband exercises in the hope that I can strengthen my left leg enough to hold that back inside left edge of the CCW Mohawk for the required two beats. We'll see.
