CONTRA DANCING.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNx6t7VZe9o&feature=related

They offer this once a month where I live! You dance up and down lines, so while technically you have a partner, you will actually dance with every person in the line. There was a man celebrating his 83rd birthday at the dance I went to on Friday night. He danced up and down the line as well as anybody.

Another reason I like it is because it reminds me of the Yule Ball in The Goblet of Fire. This also happens to be the one scene I've seen the most of the Harry Potter movies, because somehow, every time ABC Family is having their marathon (so, pretty much every weekend), Tim turns it on right as the dance scene begins. Which is fine with me, because I love the dance scene. But I love contra dancing more.

Anniversary

Apparently the father of modern Southern cuisine has a restaurant in Chapel Hill. So we went there for our anniversary.

It was delicious. But North Carolina barbeque is always disappointing to me. Even when it's prepared in the tradition of the father of modern Southern cuisine.

But maybe I'm just missing Wilmington.
