birthday dance

dear diary,

i bought some batteries from CVS before the practica. i was early, and had the time. twenty minutes later, i got out of the store, seething, shaking my head.

i hate it when i am filled with bad energy. what am i to do with all the crappy stuff whirling inside my head, when the music enters my consciousness? what might the followers feel?

the music was good. it was steady. it was light. and my spirit calmed.

an hour later, i realized that this was one of my best tango moments.

a pause in the music, when she announced a celebration, and invited me to a birthday dance.

i looked around, baffled.

she chose an alternative, a moody piece, because i am a moody guy.

one by one, wonderful women (plus one guy) came to me, moved with me, followed me, and celebrated with me.

it was a happy moment.
