I attended Nora's Tango Weekend this weekend in Milbrae and it was the best time.  Classes from 10am to 6pm then the milonga (dance) started at 9 till 2am. Three days in a row. It was blast.  The best part was dressing up for the milongas in suits, ties and nice shoes.  Saturday was 40's night and it looked like a gangster fest, I had a suit and hat but I've got to get more 'good-fella's' up for the next one. 

All this tango has really changed my posture and body structure. One weird thing is that my hip flexer (sp?) is getting shorter on the right side so getting up from my chair at work and walking is weird for the first few steps, I've got to work on keeping that tendon long...more yoga. 

Highlights: Making new friends from Mountain View, SF, Santa Rosa, Seattle, LA, Belguim.
Hanging out with my people from SC. Listening to Rayann's foul jokes while trying to get my tango on. Seeing how Miriam looks at her husband and being reminded that love is a beautiful thing.  Dancing with a girl from Seattle who  was easily a foot and a half taller than me in heels, that was a trip, I wanted  a ladder just so I could get started. She knew a whole bunch of short guy jokes, it was too funny.  And a special shout out to my girl Viviane with whom I danced on Sunday night, you're an amazing dance partner!

I'm still recovering from all the late nights and early mornings, I got home last night at 3am and had to be at work at 9. I'll post a video of the milonga when I get a chance.

The tangueros in SC are planning a trip to Seattle in October to attend a conference up there, the plan right now is to pack as many of us in a winnebago as we can and make a road trip out of it, that's got to be done.

Tigo's good today, he was at his Grandpeople's house in Half Moon Bay this weekend and I don't know what they fed him but he's just bigger than he was on Thursday, but then kids are weird like that, they eat a ton, pass out for a day then the next time you see them, they're bigger than before. 

He was happy to see me when I got home from work, I kicked his little hiney for a while and then fed him dinner and then we went out for some Pho. He passed out during dinner and just started doing that thing he does when he sleeps some times, he was just grinning and laughing. I wonder who visits him when he's sleeping and he gets that way. It's cute but I wish I knew what he was dreaming about, that would be great.

I'm beat, off to bed for me.
