I've been fairly depressed and grumpy this past week; it's remarkable how much my mood is lifted simply by getting off my ass and spending a couple of hours #contradancing.

I swear, if doctors just prescribed a bit of #dance more often, it could do real damage to the anti-depressant industry…

Went to two contra dances this week, lots of dancing!
Wore one of my 18-year old Casio Baby-G Whale watches. I change their batteries once every three years or so. I still like these watches, but they're pretty big & clunky.
People compliment them, but i never say the REAL reason I wear them dancing: when we do a 'star right' figure they prevent some guy's super sweaty hand from clamping my arm. My Baby-G happily takes the hit & i just suds it up in the sink when i get home!

#intro #introduction
My first toot... I was never on Twit or FB ...so this is all really new to me.
I enjoy oldtime music and medieval music, gardening , knitting , coffee with friends, cats , and contra dancing. I run a music social network for mountain dulcimer players at FOTMD.com
I'm in the US northeast, my politics are left leaning and I believe in treating folks with kindness. I do technical illustration for a living.
Greetings!
