Latin and salsa dancing has hit DC in a big way over the past few years. I got into it a couple years ago, and started taking lessons off and on.

Into your witch’s cauldron add a good dose of fun guys, a generous helping of exciting girls, making sure everyone is wearing their favorite alter-ego costumes. Then add a couple great DJs (Pat Premier and Mr. Greengenes), throw in an abundance of spooky cocktails and stir in DC’s biggest Halloween costume contest. Top it off with a […]
I have horrible penmanship, really horrible. So bad, I doubt there’s a doctor in America with worse handwriting. But just a few generations ago, it was not uncommon for the wealthily or educated to have beautiful penmanship. Just check out the signatures on the Declaration of Independence.
