. . . muttered the ogre

Kennita Watson has for ages been nudging members of our circle to try square-dancing with Stanford Quads, and this evening I went.

My feet gave out early; though I wore my comfy shoes, I’m evidently not accustomed to making so many turns. I’ll have to get better arch supports.

A startling treat: I was quickly recognized by June Genis, whom I hadn’t seen since (or before) she ran for Senate in 1992 against Barbara Boxer. We hit it off like old pals. She said “this is the most Libertarian square dance group in the county” — which surely ain’t saying much, but it was indeed pretty obvious for those in the know, with Mary Gingell and Joe Dehn also on hand.
