Yesterday was this flawless man’s birthday:
And so I took him swing dancing on the Battleship USS IOWA, like you do:
What who when where WHY, you ask? Because in high school, Morrison used to go to swing dancing socials alone just to get better at the Lindy Hop. And because it just so happened that Mission 22 — a charity that raises funds to prevent Veteran Suicide — was hosting a 40’s themed dance party, 40s on the Fantail (https://www.40sonthefantail.com/) On his very Birthday, AS IF WE ALL PLANNED IT. It was completely amazing and checked all Morrison Birthday Surprise Boxes:
- By the Ocean
- live music
- Swing Dancing
- craft cider tasting
- very sincere old people in costumes
- no really there were adorable old women dressed like sparkly sailor children
- and so, incredible people watching
- SNACKS
EVERYONE SHOULD GO NEXT YEAR. LET’S MEET THERE. WE WILL BE THE COUPLE IN FULL PERIOD COSTUME HOPPING LINDY (?) / I HAVE ONE FULL YEAR TO TRAIN
