Isn't she a beautiful bride?In North Florida it's daylight savings time and we've set our clocks back an hour. Now when it's time for day shift workers to go home, it's dark outside.

When it comes to vacations, folks in the USA, compared to other nations, get a pretty bad deal. I crammed a lot of fun into the last 4 days and am looking forward to a longer holiday next month. I hope that wherever you are, you're listening to live music. My holiday wish to each and every one of you is that you dance as often as you possibly can. Find a club, a ballroom, a contr...
