Nose in the air

I meet a lot of interesting people dancing tango.

Charles is definitely one of them. He is a serious, opinionated, intellectual man who wants to be recognized for his clever turn of phrase and poetic observations and reminds me of Wallace Shawn for no good reason at all. Except perhaps because he's short. Like I said, no good reason at all.

He clearly is a person who can rub people the wrong way and is in his own right a snob.

Yet at the same time, he is a little bit humble and more than a little bit entertaining. While he may be occupied thinking of insightful things to impress me, what he really does is keep me engaged and challenge me to really think.

And he knows how to dance.
