Wednesday 1-14-26 Dance Day & Having Fun

 

Just having fun

 

We had a beautiful day with sunshine and wind. The morning temperature was 39 degrees and the high was 66 degrees. It was windy all day. By evening the wind let up. 

I attended three virtual square dances. First was Di Green and Terry McCann's Weekly Plus at 10:00 for an hour and fifteen minutes. Last week Di wrote an e-mail saying she will be introducing the Plus dancers to the A1 moves, that were moved from A1 to Plus because Caller Lab moved them to Plus. Today she worked on Quarter Thru (left and right), Quarter In, Partner Tag (in different positions), Scoot and Dodge, Clover and and Triple Trade. Di called the whole dance of five tips to seven participants. I had a super time dancing with friends.

Second was Ett McAtee's Weekly C1 at 1:00 for an hour. Jane asked if I was back for awhile and I said yes. Ett was happy I was back. Ett called five tips to sixteen participants. I had fun dancing with friends.

Third was Dave Eno Weekly C1/A2 for an hour and a half at 6:00. Karin Rabe and Greg Moore helped Dave call the dance. We had a surprise visitor, who was Loren Smith. He also was kind to help call the dance. The format was three tips of C1 to eight participants, three tips of A2 to nine participants and two trivia questions in between the A2 tips. During the sessions: first tip was called by Karin and Greg, second tip was called by Loren and Dave and the third tip all four callers called. I had a great evening dancing to Dave, Loren, Karin and Greg and with friends.

Larry continued playing with the the pinball cabinets. He played games on both machines and had a super time.

I played the Daily Challenges of Solitaire and Mahjong. The event was Event: Free Cell Mini of 10 games. It took me 51 minutes and 38 seconds, which put me in 12th place in my group. I played Angry Birds Friends and Angry Birds 2.

I played three games of pinball on the mini cabinet, which were No Good Goffers!, Pirates Life and Pirates of the Caribbean. While playing No Good Goffers! I became the high score number #1 and Pirates of the Caribbean I became the Grand Champion. I played two pinball games on the big cabinet, which were Indiana Jones and Indianapolis 500. While playing Indiana Jones I got a new high score of 427,392,590, which put me in 31st place out of 78 participants. While playing Indianapolis 500 I became the high score of the Pit. I had a good day of pinball.

After the last dance we finished watching the first season of Bookish on PBS. When Larry went to bed I watched the third movie of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I ended up doing 5,000 steps, which included 15 minutes of my Jazz routine.
