Square Dance (p365; 10.10.11)

Little-known me fact: I know how to square dance. As a child growing up in Kansas we had mandatory square dancing lessons for PE. And a concert. With costumes (I still remember lovingly picking out my jean-skirt and red plaid blouse with puffy sleeves. I may have worn this same outfit when I rode atop a hay bail, on a parade float, while playing my violin for Old Settler's Day). Thankfully, this look has been redeemed by the hipsters -- in my memory, I'm retro cool, instead of a hick nerd.

My friend invited me to the Tractor for a night of Sq Dancing. I couldn't believe how many calls I remembered (my lifelong fav: promenade), but I still ran into a few cowboys/girls.
