I finished up with my last patient last so I had to hightail it over to salsa class. Our first early one. Also dress up for Halloween so I changed shoes and socks while driving. Hey if you ladies can do make up I can do this. Anyway Marquita said it's right across the street from our usual club. 20 minutes later I still can't find the damn place. So I figure I'll head to 111's and wait for everyone to show up. Christine is there and she says that the stores across the street also have a backside row. Grrrr. So I hoped to catch the tail end of class. Turns out I'm the only one there. I think everyone is so use to coming out late that getting there early is going to take time. So we ended hanging out and getting snacks while we waited and waited. Slowly people started showing up, NOT in costumes. So Marquita and myself sort of stood out. More people came, but they were ALL guys. By 9:30 we had 8 guys and 0 women besides our teacher. Christine said she is too pregnant now to spin and the Wild women weren't there. A little after 10 I decided to cut out to get some sleep. One woman had showed up with another guy. When I was walking out W Salsa girl was walking in. (The W stands for Wendy so I can use it with different letters.) So far I am 2 for 2 on new patient no shows. People have some decency and call to cancel. It's called having balls, get some.

God I wish they would pass a smoking ban in bars down here. Right now it's up to the owners. Someone was smoking a cigar tonight and boy was it stinking up the place. For some reason we're dressing up for next Tuesdays get together. Hey I love dressing up, but to also do salsa. I don't know? Anyway the Wild women group was weeded down this week although the 2 queens of the bunch were there to make up for it. Although I had to admit they were pretty tame tonight. Lori the bartender decided to join us tonight after many, many declines. She gave up on it pretty soon. I'm not quite sure if it was the 4" heels or the 2 honeydews strapped to her chest by shoe strings. It might have just been the combination of the two. I knew I couldn't watch her dance it was waaaaaaay too distracting. I do wish there was more chemistry between W-Salsa girl and I. I know she likes me and I think she is very attractive, but I know every time we talk that it's not going to work. Glasses was back this week and I think she has moved off of me. I knew right off the bat we weren't a match. It was re-enforced tonight when she didn't no the difference between the male and female symbols.I finally used some free time today to look in the thrift stores for some dancing shoes. Found some on the second try and got to try them out. Yes they do make a world of difference. Just have to watch I don't slide too much.Happy to hear that we are going to make the get togethers earlier. Even the youngin's are staring to feel the lack of sleep withdrawal. Also Marquita is going to have class across the street at a dance studio first then come over to the club to practice which will be nice since Tuesdays has become a almost non-teaching night.

I don't know if I'm feeling my age or what, but after dancing late last night and getting up early for my business meeting this morning I was exhausted today. I mean I could have closed my eyes while driving tired. So I was happy to have free time today to grab an hour nap on my table. It allowed me to finish off the day. Also having planned not to work pizza on Tuesdays so it just wasn't such an exhausting day helped. So when I went out to dance tonight I was pretty fresh. I'm getting very good, but I have no stamina with it. Not that I get physically tired with it I just get mentally tired. Like okay now what move should I do. Since I'm the guy driving it I have to choreograph it out and after a few minutes I'm kind like okay I'm done. Yes, yes I know typical guy I had my fun goodnight. The other problem I'm having is I can keep the beat for about a minute and then I slowly lose it. A salsa song is going to go from 3 to 9 minutes so I'm going to have to work on it. Marquita (you can see her website) my instructor is going to have a workshop on Saturday that I want to attend to pick up more leading moves which are important when you have a real woman in front of you. One of these days I'll have to pick up dancing shoes which I've been told will make a world of difference.
