Saturday dancing / LS / Bearhug

Steve called on Saturday morning from San Diego. He had first left a message at my office. He forgot it was Saturday. How nice to be retired and not need to pay attention to that kind of stuff!

I took BART to Pleasant Hill and walked to LeCheim School. I arrived 30 minutes early, so I removed my shirt and stretched out on a bench to catch some sun. It was a beautiful day!

Dancing was okay. Woody and I were the only angels. Some students were gone, so there were 10 of us there, including Peggy. Not much sitting out.

I had originally planned to take BART back to the City. Woody offered to give me a ride. Later, Woody and the "girls" made plans to do something, so I asked Tom for a ride to BART. He said he was going to go into the City and hang out in the Castro, so he gave me a ride.

On the Bay Bridge, he decided he wanted to go to the Lone Star instead. Yeah, twist my arm. I had planned to go later for a bit, but didn't want to have Tom go out of his way. We got there around 4pm. I figured everyone would be at the Egg Party, but it was a nice crowd. I hadn't been there for ages, and it was nice to see some new faces. New transplant, Peter, from L.A. was woofy. I gave him directions for the evening's Bearhug.

Drank a few too many, then showed up 20 minutes late for my shift at Bearhug. I hate being late to ANYTHING, let alone an obligation like this. Eek. I hate disappointing people, and I certainly did that this time.

I had no real desire to attend the 'Hug this month, but did it to waste some time while Steve was gone. Some really hot guys showed up this month. Still didn't change my mood. Much. Did a walk through downstairs and was gonna just head out. Noticed some FB in the sling, and I couldn't resist his come hither look. Nothing like being in a sling to give that look, ya know?

Went upstairs after that and made some square dance small talk.

Walked home. Crashed. Had a bit of a hangover.

Easter Sunday

Went to spaceybear's for brunch. I hadn't been to his home during daylight, so it was nice to take in the view. Yep, that damned tree blocks the view between my place and his. Otherwise, he'd be able to see right into my bedroom.

Had a really nice time at Bill's. Of the dozen plus people there, I knew everyone there, or at least had met them before. Half of them are on LJ, mostly in the last couple of months. There were a few guys there on whom I have a school girl's crush. That always makes for a good party. Bill sure has some handsome friends.

I left around 2pm for Midnight Squares. They were supposed to have A2 dancing from 1:30-3:30pm, then a meeting, then C2 from 4:30-6:30pm. The day before, the president decided that Easter was a bad day for a meeting. Um, kinda late notice. Anyhow, they did start dancing at 1:30pm. double_ohsteven showed up around 3pm, just having arrived from the airport. WOOF. They decided to dance A2 until 3:45pm, since there weren't enough C2 class members yet.

Harlan showed up, and he called a mixed C1/C2 tip between the A2 class and the C2 class. Tom was the only C1-only dancer, so it was fun to walk him through some stuff. Harlan's great at that. It sure makes the dancer feel really good to get pulled through new things.

The C2 went fine. My mind went elsewhere THREE times on the Plus call "grand swing thru." I kept thinking Grand Chain Eight. Bad Gary! The new stuff was fairly easy. I'm going to enjoy dancing this level. Nice to keep your brain engaged.

Came home and just watched some TV. I was beat, and went to bed around 9pm.
