square dancing

Wednesdays are my catch-all day. I aim to wander around with no single intent, getting little things done here and there, finding treasures along the way, and enjoying the lack of a schedule.

Today I turned on the TV for 5 minutes (that's all it took) and found square dancing footage. It was so bizarre. The dance leader was saying things like "boys, take your girls a-round and round, "girls, circle up and go a-head."

I just died when they showed on the bottom of the screen where all this mayhem was a-goin' on: a Coon Rapids, MN middle school. 

I hope I'm this eccentric when I'm old.

crazy old people

Hugo and I have long yearned for old age and our expectations that it will allow us complete and total freedom from the self consciousness so characteristic of youth.

It's happening - slowly, as it should. As we age, we increasingly lean toward wearing whatever we damn please and acting however we damn want. It is safe to say, however, that we're far from our ideals.

So, in the sprint of being (finally) in our third decade of life, let this blog be our guiding light: Advanced Style. It's a chronicle of what old people wear, and I really love it.
