The first day at school...

Funny how you can just walk into a place or meet someone and if you are paying attention you know in an instant if it is right. I am reminded of Malcom Gladwell's book Blink and his central thesis of how much we know in a matter of seconds...that is if we pay attention and don't misread the clues. I like this place...an exquisite old building near the Plaza de Mayo. Mi profesor, Bruno, is young, engaging and energetic. Franciso, not my profesor but another instructor commented that he liked my accent...muy linda. I wondered immediately..."is this true, or is it just the Argentine barone in him flirting?" I decided to opt for the former interpretation and assume I am improving! Before class today it is a trip to the gym to secure my short term membership and work out. After class will be my first tango lesson...
Oh and of course I drank a Malbec last night and thought of you!
