Monday 1-20 Entertainment at J-Five

Entertainment at J-Five

Our day started out being a bit nippy. Then the sun came out and warmed things up.

We started the day out by going to Peppermint Palace to attend Bronc Wise's C1 Workshop. He spent some time on Magic Columns Formation. I was glad because sometimes it's hard to see where to go. He went over transfer the column in this formation, he put us in different positions so we could see the concept from different places. We did it going left and right. While he went over transfer the column he also did it in the O Formation and Butterfly Formation. Another move he went over was Tally Ho in different positions. We really like Bronc's Workshops because he teaches the move in a way you can understand. We had nine and a half squares. We had a great morning dancing with friends and to Bronc.

We had an hour before going to our afternoon dance so we went to Wendy's. We shared a taco salad. It was a big salad and good. It was different than Taco Bell's taco salad. They served the salad with the chili either on the salad or on the side, we had it on the salad. They put the chips, sour cream and salsa on the side. This was great for us because we took the chips with us when we left so we could snack on them later.

Our afternoon dance was an A2 Dance with Darryl Lipscomb. We had five squares plus three extra couples. Everyone had a chance to sit out one tip. We had a super afternoon dancing to Darryl and our A2 friends.

In the evening I went to the clubhouse to see the entertainment, which was KAI. KAI's name is Kainoa Kamaka. He is from Hilo, Hawaii and he now lives in San Antonio. He plays the ukulele. He learned to play the ukulele when he was young. He sings Hawaiian, Oldies, Rock & Roll, Country, Contemporary, Pop, Folk and Mowtown. He is very energetic and gets the audience to participate in some of the songs. He sung songs from Blue Hawaii, that Elvis sang. He did an excellent Elvis. He told stories about Hawaii and his boyhood. He brought his wife with him and she did a couple of Hula dances as KAI sang the song. Some of our square dancing friends were there (four couples). KAI handed out vials of bubbles for the audience to blow bubbles while he sang the song Tiny Bubbles. I enjoyed the evening.

While I was at the entertainment Larry watched his YouTube videos. 

When I got back I finished doing my steps, 16,500 total. I finished up doing the Solitaire Event: the World Tour (30 games). I read a little bit. We had a very good day of dancing.
