Alice, you are my kind of person. I like your notebook holes. They show that people are sharing and enjoying the music.

Speaking of dance music going faster all the time, I recently reread "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. There is a scene in it where Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are doing country dancing, and they carry on a teasing conversation. Can you imagine anybody conversing while dancing nowadays? I can't.

I started reading Jane Austen again because of the bestseller "Bridget Jones Diary" and its sequel, "the Edge of Reason." There are a lot of links between these books. It's fun to discover them.
