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.

You can partner with Dom, though I suspect there might be some heckling in his direction, or show Philip how it’s done.

[adrii]

Domingo is a no.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Bring Philip. If he can’t salsa, he needs to learn.

Aldanas

[adrii]

Does he?

I can ask him, I suppose. He might have plans.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Yes. I can’t believe you’ve been here for so long and haven’t danced.

With whom?

Aldanas

[adrii]

Not much opportunity to dance here.

[...] I don't know. I don't ask.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

Not much incentive taken to do so.

Just ask him to come. Tell him you’d like him there if that’s true.

Aldanas

[adrii]

There are usually more pressing matters.

I said I would ask him, mija.

Aldanas

[adequacies]

There are always pressing matters. Everyone is wound too tightly, and that’s very ironic coming from me.

Alright.

Aldanas

[adrii]

The unfortunate side of being at war.

[loculus]

Excuse me, Domingo is wonderful.

[adrii]

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. That is the phrase, correct?

[loculus]

Is that why my incisors are almost unnaturally sharp?

[adrii]

I would have to verify the veracity of your incisors to know.

[loculus]

I don't believe that.

[adrii]

That I would need proof before coming to a conclusion? Please, Domingo. I am a man of science.

[loculus]

Can you not toss holy water at me or something.

[adrii]

And risk burning myself? Safety first.

[adequacies]

You must be awfully intimidating.

[loculus]

You'd have to ask your father.

[adequacies]

I shouldn’t invoke the devil; I don’t know if he has his rosary handy.

[loculus]

He's just inferred I am he and I can assure you I wasn't in the business of siring children circa 30 years ago.

[adequacies]

Exactly. I can’t go asking about you now. What if Papá needs to pray?

[loculus]

Is that what they're calling it these days?

[adequacies]

I don’t know if I 1) know the answer to that, and 2) answer even if I did know.
