I would like to note that, virtuously, I did not in any way shill for
Bryn Gwlad's Candlemas event this coming Saturday (near Austin).
Nor did I note that from 10 AM to 4 PM there will be Arts and Sciences
classes, including a track of dance classes (most aimed at the
beginner).  Nor yet did I point out that there will be dancing between
courses during the feast, with almost all the dances taught during the
day, and on each table cheat-sheet booklets to remind students of the
dances.  And I certainly didn't note the event URL at

No, it's when the Virgin Mary takes Jesus to the Temple, and if she
sees her shadow, there's 6 more weeks until Easter.
