  1. NYE

    Thursday, January 01, 2015

    Peter and I broke with our new year's eve tradition of staying in. We find NYE events to be over-hyped and over-priced so we usually don't bother. This year, a bunch of people from our dance studio were going to a dinner dance event at a casino way out in the burbs and we decided to join them. It's hard to find opportunities to social dance, so we're trying to take advantage of what there is.

    We got there a bit late and just caught the tail end of the buffet (no line!). We were sitting at a different table than our fellow dance studio people but we met some lovely folks as a result, Particularly Dennis and Glynis, a couple that has been married for 55 years and have led very interesting lives (he was in a parachute regiment in the military back when England had required military service).

    We danced a lot, watched some great dancers (and one very animated couple whose dance style was very.... different). It was fun!  This going out thing might be okay.

    As a side note, the casino was packed, which I find horrifying - to gamble as a way to end/start a year. Also, none of the people in the casino seemed to be having any fun (I always find this to be the case in casinos).  There was a club downstairs that we tried to check out because the DJ advertised was "DJ Hashtag" which is so terrible, we wanted to hear him. No luck though.

    Hope everyone spent their NYE doing something pleasant. Here's hoping for all good things in 2015!
