Took a walk but didn’t feel 100%, so cut it short. At dinner yesterday, Joanne said I ought to start attending the line dance class. This is one of about 6 different exercise classes at CH. There’s strength & balance, and seated strength and balance, and yoga, and pilates and probably some other thing. Line dancing is on Fridays at 10:30, so I went. The instructor does a great job. I am grossly uncoordinated for this, always a step behind what he’s calling out, but frankly so were a majority of the dozen people who attended. Anyway I didn’t trip or bump into anybody and got a mild sweat out of it, so I guess it was a success.
During the day I got back on Charity Navigator and got the contributions done that I had a problem with yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, here’s a picture of the Gunn High choir from last night.
Worked out the chords to “Grateful”. It is a very difficult song — have I put in a link to it? here — other songs I’ve worked on have a solid rhythmic “groove”, or at least a basic 1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4 time. So I can strum the guitar in that rhythm, and sing along. Try counting 1-2-3-4 to that video. The chorus, maybe, but the verse? No way; there’s a beat but it’s very loose and changes all the time. So there’s no strumming. Still, I love the message and want to sing it.
At 7:30 I will leave for a play at the Bus Barn, I will summarize that tomorrow.
