Things are ok, Jen and I do wish to hear from you more often. I've been doing quite a bit of floor barre. Tried ballet slippers with bare feet the other day and REALLY don't know how you STAND IT!!! I have GOT to wear footed tights with ballet slippers!!! Besides, I do think they look better with tights going into them. You may want to give it a go. Ballet ALL DAY???!!! THAT'S going to be one hell of a workout, but I know you'll enjoy it!!! Let me know how it goes!!!...your friend, Michael.
