walking, dancing, engaging

The Grande Masquerade Damien Center fund-raiser has become a fall tradition and fun event meeting new friends, re-connecting with old friends, and enjoying beautiful sun-splashed weather in downtown Indy once again. The mile plus walk from the Omni to Carl and Jeff's Mass Ave condo began yesterday's event for me. Down Meridian around the East side of Monument Circle and then East on Ohio St to Alabama jagging through the Marsh Market parking lot and finally up Mass Ave to the West Loft Condo. The event this year was at the Marriott just north of Maryland St. Great evening, great fun, mixing with a wonderful group of people and dancing the night away in a mixed group on the dance floor. Shutting the party down at Midnight and returning for short six hour sleep before a 6:00am wakeup and return drive to be back at CCC for Sunday morning's service and singing in the choir, which is the love of my life right now. A good Saturday pm/Sunday am combination any way you reckon it. Watching the sunrise across the southeast sky as I drove south on I-65 was a real treat for me with fall reds, oranges, and a light mist affording me all of the fall color and ambiance that I might desire!
