Every Milonga is an oppportunity to have a new experience—-you may, as I have,
meet someone new at the milonga–have a whole new feeling then about the community–That is what happens when you meet somone new in the tango community–you have a whole new feeling about it–and you and us! So-last night I met an archeologist! I am a pastor–in the last quarter of my journey on the earth–she–in the first–or–maybe–second–hard to tell—nevertheless–I said, “Hi, I don’t think we have met . . I’m Bunny” “Hi” she said–I’m Caitlin. . . . and then we were off–I see you every night– . . .. yes–I see you too . . . .etc etc etc—why didn’t you dance with that guy–he’s smooth–Oh–I am just so tired and sore from my exercise class–didn’t think I’d dance at all tonight— . . . . Oh . . .and now some guy comes and I go to dance . . . but now we are connected . . . . . .we found each other–I know she loves to teach–loves being an archeologist–and I know one can make a living doing that–there is work to be had etc etc . . . . .who would guess—she’s lovely, tallish, blonde, beautiful, slinky black dress–nice dancer . . has learned mostly from going to milongas–not classes–grad student economy etc—. very sweet. . .mmmmmm  . . . .The night before–Sunday–a new milonga opened—celebrating nuevo tango musica–the organizer and host–has NEVER ever asked me to dance —but this night he did–twice– . . . .the dancing was very nice indeed . . . creative and musical–but the next night–it was as if I was invisible–I hate this about the milonga codes— . . .it’s gotta evolve . . . really . . . .I am  so glad to now be able to lead . . . .(Kate Wolf sang once: “You can’t take me anywhere I don’t already know how to go” . . . .)  Oh my gosh!  The ladies were so after me at the Sunday night milonga–there was a great dirth of male leads–so sad–but hey–for us ladies–it’s really not about anything but the dancing . . . .well . . . . . mostly!  Sunday night was awesome.  Monday night : my favorite regular partner was divine! Stan is the man! So musical–so lovely!  I go home sweetly tired, full of joy and gratitude!
