Just Dance

Love this, love Kings of Convenience.
The guy is a combination of Napoleon Dynamite and a guy in college we roommates fondly called Dancin' Dave.
I proclaim August 12th as International Dance Crazy in the Kitchen Day
(also an item on my Dog Days of Summer list).
Care to join in?
{I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings...
You'll make me smile by really getting into the swing...}

The Maine adventure continues. Yesterday I got up at 5, drove 5.5 hours to Boston, taught for 2 hours, drove 5.5 hours back. It was a beautiful drive and I did lots of thinking and singing to myself (even a little in-car dancing). But I missed my Maine people, who hiked, shopped, played badminton and croquet. Today it's back to vacation mode for me, too.

I love singing and dancing when I'm all alone in the car. When I'm with other people, they generally ask me to stop it with a look of disdain on their face.
