But last night's dance class was different. It was my last basic beginning tap. After a two-week break I'll move up to ... drum roll, please ... advanced beginning tap!
Which makes me think of Winston Churchill: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
I looked it up. This from the Churchill Society: "After a series of defeats from Dunkirk to Singapore, Churchill could finally tell the House of Commons that 'we have a new experience. We have victory — a remarkable and definite victory." It was the Battle of Egypt.
Less than two weeks since the D Day anniversary and I'm comparing my tap dance class to the Allied victory in Europe. What can I say? It's early; that's all.
