One of those occasions when you take the leap and dance in front of everybody and while dancing think “this may look kinda cool” and then you see the video!

The dance moves are from the musical Oklahoma and the live Celtic hybrid music is from IONA. Larry, a buddy, is the brave soul on stage with me.

It happened at the Virginia Library Association 2009 Annual Conference, Williamsburg, VA.

Packing Heat

hoping to soon find time to edit the new Car Less Brit video: “Packing Heat; a short survival guide for the bike commuter.” Even Ride Solutions, who I thought was my eternal sponsor and $ provider, won’t get near this one.
