I really meant blog entries to be the exception to the 301 rule, not the norm. and I’m still qualifying this as exercise #12, because I haven’t been to bed yet, dammit.

I told Najla last night that I will accept the invitation to be part of Mirage for a “trial” semester. For those of you following along at home, Mirage is Austin’s longest-running belly dance troupe (it has been around for twenty years or so), and I am very honored to be invited to join. [...]
