Well, long enough to suppose that many of us would encounter the same
situations, but apparently not long enough to encounter what the better
dancers encounter!

I have received many responses already, both on the list and off, about
dancing with closed eyes. Really, I don't do it a lot. It was a figure of
speech.

My post actually had nothing to do with closed eyes. I was expressing alarm
over the random paths my leaders walk, a tendency so perilous that it makes
me want to cover my eyes. But not so much literally. The "dancing with
closed eyes" stuff was an example of a literary device known as "satire".

Thank you for the advice, Caroline. It probably makes a lot of sense.

Drat! Last week I figured out how to engender more invitations. Now this
week, do I have to work up the nerve to tender more rejections?

I don't suppose anyone else finds this difficult, do they? Am I the only
one?
