Dear List,

I've been having the best fun learning how to program my new LED sign with tango images, slogans and sayings. The sign occupies a small area =
in the middle of my newly renovated building, home of Murray's Vintage Venue upstairs and soon to be Karen's Stained Glass Studio downstairs.

A very expensive toy to be playing with, but how else to say what is going on, and I have so much to tell the community.

My most challenging file was drawing tango dancers. Making an image with tiny square blocks was not easy, but have managed to draw one =
couple with two different leg positions. Next will be how to do animation. For now they are simply passing along the screen.

Then I will enjoy placing in various tango sayings amongst the business stuff. Which is what I want to share with you, for you have helped me =
compile so many. Adding to my list of quotes:

From Lexa in Reportango Magazine(enough to make me subscribe):
Einstein Said, Dancers are the athletes of God
Accept all dances and refuse all poisons
He who cannot dance puts blame on the floor-Hindu proverb

Vicki Baum: Dancing is a short cut to happiness

Russell Ranno: The tango dancer is a jazz musician who plays the body.

Dan Wajnman: Real men fall in love with every woman they dance with.

Carlos Gavito: The [tango] embrace looks personal, but we're embracing the music.

Frank Williams: Tango School is the best place to study chemistry.

And my Christmas message will be from Ecclesiastes 3:1,4 - To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to =
weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance. --May this holiday season bring you many laughs and many dances.

Well, its hard to come up with one liners for the sign, but thanks for your input.

Karen
