Tango in Houston is cranking back up this week. Martin &
Natia are teaching again on Friday. The Suarezes are out
of town until January and their classes are suspended until
their return. HATA starts their next cycle on January 17.
Be sure to check with the organizer if in doubt about
an event during this transition period. I haven't heard
from Victor Collins or Daniela, so confirm before you go.

[Technical detail: Apparently E NASA Road 1 has been
renamed NASA Parkway. Google Maps have yet to get the
memo. Yahoo! Maps has. Both map services show their
data is derived from NAVTEQ, so go figure. The link below
says 911 E NASA Road 1, which is the same as NASA Parkway.]
