    of all the things that are a bummer about being an adult, losing the ability to really DANCE unself-consciously anymore is pretty high on my list. and rarely having any chances to even try! dancing with friends was one of the great joys of my teenage years.

    Having followed your blog for years, this is my first entry. Perhaps I'm feeling nostalgic today, perhaps I miss the cicadas in summer or the smell of jasmine flowers in the spring outside my window. Thank you for reminding me on a bleak winter's day in Oz.
