Marlene and I continue to dance several times a week. The venues include the Center Bar<\/a> in Bonita Springs, Nauti Parrot Oasis<\/a> in Ft Myers, Stan’s<\/a> in Goodland, The Launch in Labelle and LJ’s in Ft Myers. For New Year’s Eve we went to the Eagle’s Club in Lehigh Acres. It was a low-key night, but it gave us a chance to dress up a bit. Marlene’s brother drove over from the east coast to join us so it was a bit of a family affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After midnight Marlene and I went to the casino and stayed until 4am. She won. I lost. But she won more than I lost, so it was a good night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also, in December, went to a Sunday jam at The Buckingham Blues Bar. If you recall, I have been banned from that establishment for life, thanks to the evil machinations, I think, of Ooma. I had a good time and didn’t get kicked out by the owner. I don’t plan on going often and won’t go if Ooma is present, but it felt good to defy the odious ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparky, the Dancing Rebel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
