alonewiththemoonMy in-ear headphones make decent ear plugs.
This is good, because the men using a jackhammer about 20 feet from my office window have ear protection but I don't. The seals on my office window are loose enough that I can smell the smoke if somebody walks down the street with a cigarette, so I might as well be standing outside next to the jackhammer, generator, etc. Happy Wednesday morning to me!
Great class last night. We worked on a traveling hip drop step that's used very often in Modern Cairo style and that I've been wanting to really internalize. I think I started learning that step just as my foot went totally haywire, and since it's a relevé ball of the foot sort of step I couldn't work on it. So to be able to re-introduce myself to it now when I am able to be in relevé is perfect timing and also a wonderful thing. I could see a real difference in my execution of it as the class progressed--more work is in order, but I'm happy with it as a start. Or a fresh start, as it may be.
