Of Mice And Men

There was a famous novel entitled "Of Mice And Men," which was also made into a hit movie, but it comes from a larger quotation. I believe it is from a poem by Robert Burns. It read, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray."

And that is what happened today in my quest to do right by my fellow dancers. I left in fine time but the 6:10 C bus that went by had a "Not in Service" sign so there was something wrong with it. We all had to wait for the next one. I did not get to HBDA until almost 8:30.

The good people from Kapolei Chapter were at the reception table and what an opportunity to get a photo. Unfortunately something went wrong with the camera. I will check it out tomorrow. As suggested by the others it may be the batteries, rechargeables usually last over a year.

I had planned on getting a photo at the reception table, one at the DJ table and another with maybe three couples. Woulda been nice. Together with a nice write up.

So I had a few dances and talked to a few people and decided to skip the Honolulu Club where I had planned on getting at least a couple photos and make a small write up with a few quotes from the attendees.

I got me some ice for my time solution and then took off to try and get the first E bus going to Waipahu. Just missed the good one and the next one got me to Waipahu too early or too late for #40 bus.

The next E bus arrived and five minutes later the 40 bus arrives. By that time I am running out of Time Solution. Just a few ice cubes left. Had to make do until I got home. Then first thing at home is to get some music going and make me a double. The evening was not going to waste.

Got the preliminaries on this blog.

Special Aside: you can still keep up with the news on Richard Nieto in The Dance Connection blog by Frank Sierra.
