While I know there are many more pressing matters at hand, there's been a distinct problem I've noticed onboard in the most recent karaoke nights.  I won’t name names, but I have noticed a lack of rhythm that can be rectified with a little practice. Luckily, I am here to help, and there is no singing required.

This Friday, I'll be hosting a group salsa class in the community room.   You don't need to have danced before; all prior skills you need are the ability to count to eight and how to stand up straight.

All are welcome, though anyone who is judgmental towards others just learning will be asked to leave.  I don't have patience for that, and it's supposed to be fun.

See you Friday at seven.  Wear comfortable shoes.

Oh [.....] well, guess we'll just have to see how this goes then. Not sure how good I'll be at turnin off the tryin hard

[adequacies]

I appreciate the effort and eagerness to learn. I really didn’t think many would care to try.

[ithax]

How come? Seems like a good way to take some of the stress outta the work we do

[adequacies]

It can be hard to let go of one’s inhibitions to try something new.

[ithax]

Suppose so

Glad so many people seem open to it, though. I always like learnin a new thing

[adequacies]

It’s a pleasant surprise.

I do, too. It can be a little difficult to find room on board to do certain things. There was a lot of talk about baseball before you got here.

[ithax]

It's good for all of us, so I'm glad it's not like pullin teeth

Shoot, I'd love baseball. That talk go anywhere?

[adequacies]

Sort of? You’ll want to talk to Cal and Eli— they’re the ones who tried to teach me before I nearly maimed one of them.

[ithax]

Nearly maimed?

[adequacies]

Eli didn’t move in time to avoid a ball to the thigh. He’s okay.

[ithax]

Oh that really doesn't sound nice

[adequacies]

It wasn’t intentional. I didn’t realize how fast it would come off the bat.

[ithax]

Nah I can't imagine you doin that on purpose. That sorta thing can be real surprisin, but I'm sure you learned from it!

[adequacies]

Center of the barrel, not off the hands.

[jetting]

It was just a bruise.

[ithax]

Was it goin pretty fast? Those things can hurt

[jetting]

Not something I want to repeat.

[ithax]

I swear I won't hit you with a ball

[witlessbay]

he almost lost the leg

[ithax]

Think we can sort out a non-maimin version of baseball?

[witlessbay]

yeah. don't let ev pitch.

[ithax]

So baseball's on?

[adequacies]

And yet here he remains, walking and all.

[witlessbay]

[...] yeah it's a miracle

[adequacies]

And also importantly, the ship was fine.
