Salsa

Rolando and I had salsa lessons last night. I have been waiting for this for some time now. I really admire the flare, grace, and excitement of the dance. A few thoughts ran through my head as we went through our lesson...

... This could be a lot of fun if the man knows how to lead the woman.
... If the man can't lead, then there's really no dancing going on.
... It must have been a man who invented this dance.
... Takes and builds good chemistry between partners.
... I find it challenging to follow. Particularly when I know or I think I know what is supposed to come next.
... My kind of dance. Passionate. Hot.


I just want to be lost in the moment.

Jackknifed

2 : to turn and form an angle of 90 degrees or less with each other -- used especially of a tractor-trailer combination

Yesterday, I finally learned what "jackknifed" means while listening to the traffic report. I've always thought it was just some type of trailer, a mechanical term that I have an idea of but don't have a real need to understand. Like a 4X4 or all-wheel drive. A jackknifed tractor-trailer.

For whatever reason, the reporter simply explained what it was, which nobody ever does. I didn't even know that I didn't know what it meant...

I'd like to uncover more blindspots that would actually be useful in my life.
