I strongly, strongly recommend that you take up swing dancing. You do not need a partner and you do not need to know how to dance. I promise you that if you take a beginner class in lindy hop, it will be the most fun you have had in years.

> The most important thing you should do is the thing that's most important to you. I had to go google this exact statement to see if you were quoting somebody else. What a profound observation that is.

I wish google would change their motto from "don't be evil" to "don't be assholes". I bet they would get a lot more mileage out of the second one. Really, when has google ever cared about customer service? Heck
