Dancing Polk St. style

As part of our party prep I made my way to the gym to "veg" on the elliptical trainer and enjoy a movie (Crunch fitness on Polk is in an old movie theater that still takes advantage of the huge movie screen). Walking home from the gym I dodged mini-yipping dogs, strollers, street restaurant dwellers, and a dancer. The dancer in question? A man wearing short running shorts, a tank top, a sweat band, dark shades, no walkman, and keeping beat (to something - maybe the songs in his head) with a yard stick ruler that he paddles against his thigh. Odd.
