I was over at Kris & Steve's and we played Cranium, which was kinda cool (boys against girls, my team lost after making a big comeback from a slow start), and then we played DVD Name That Tune for the 80s. I can't beleive I actually won, and Merry was at the starting line half the game. REALLY weird because I spent the 80s listening to classical and new age music. Game = Luck > Knowledge But I'll still take...

I keep impulsively changing my mind. I decided NOT to teach Tai Chi and pass my students to another school. I think it's for the best, but it's a hard decision to make. It also takes away any ethical filemma about "stealing" (my) students from the place I teach. Now I have to break it to them that I'm not holding classes down the road anytime soon ...

I held my last Tai Chi class at Horison Martial Arts in West Seneca today. The good news? I have to option to have classes at a holistic center nearby on my own terms -- class times, student fees, lots of flexibility.

You may call it the runs, but it was more like a cross...

Chrissie performed at the school's Christmas chorale presentation -- it was really nice. The music selection was wonderfully eclectic with a hint of different cultural styles, but almost all in English. And it was the first time I heard a handbell choir. There's no way to put it delicately. Handbells kick ass.

Last night, Chrissy and I were chaperones for a grade school dance together. I probably shouldn't have worn all black with my Neo longcoat. Kids inquired if I was a priest, a spy, a molester, or possibly some combination thereof ... Today I started prepping an apartment for painting. I'm taking photos of this one. I never thought of blood red as a ceiling color.
