Dear All,   Jeez, we’ve been ranting about the weather for so long that, without it being available as a topic (finally!) I find that I don’t have anything else to say . . . see? . . . nothing! So . . .  on to the bit about dance:  …

Dear All,   Rain, Rain, come today, Come today and stay and stay, Wash the ten-foot berms away, And keep me off the roof (“Hooray!”).   Okay, I get it . . . Shakespeare I ain’t.   In fact, Robert Frost I ain’t.  I’m probably not even weird Al Yankovic!  But …

Dear All,   What was that out there in the environment?  A touch of warmth?  We can’t be sure because (and I believe I speak for all of us on this) we can’t remember what warmth feels like (not whilst outside, at any rate).  If I dig down deep into …

Dear All,   Whoa!  Is this weird or what?  This is the last January 2023 newsletter but there isn’t a single January class in it!  What is this: the Twilight Zone? (Not to be confused with the “Toilet Zone” {which is an entirely different phenomenon altogether and should probably not …
