Well Chris, it sounds as if you had a real trial by fire...and came 
through it with new lessons and increased confidence.
What I can offer is only the suggestion that callers think about 
keeping their dance cards on their computer.  Many inkjet printers 
can print onto 3 X 5 cards and, if you have such a printer, the 
option shows on your page setup menu.  Microsoft Word and probably 
most word processing programs will work.  I use FileMaker Pro for my 
dance cards.
Besides making your cards easy to update and easy to replace this 
idea allows you to print out multiple copies of each card.  I print 
out an "emergency dance program" set of cards and keep one in my car 
glove box.  I also keep one in the bag where I carry my dance 
shoes.  This way you are always prepared for an emergency.
Then again...with a set of backup cards you wouldn't have had the 
benefit of your "trial by fire" experience.
Just a thought.
Regards,
Greg

 Hello everyone,
I figured that I better start writing this report right away. Later 
I might be lazy and leave out some of the experiences from this past 
weekend. I suspect that this will be another of those long e-mails. 
Read as much or as little as you care to. For those unfamiliar or 
new to this list, when I started calling, I would send updates to 
this list detailing my successes and blunders in the hopes that it 
would help other new callers. Here are the latest:
