    When I lived in Cambridge, Mass., every May 1 I would see a bunch of Morris dancers prancing around the Maypole in Harvard Square. (I assume they're still at it.)

    I think there's a group here in Ann Arbor, too. I wouldn't be surprised. If so, I don't know where they have their celebration, probably somewhere on the University campus.

    Death thought about it.

    We danced around the Maypole when I was in grade school. I loved it. I know several people who still do it.

    That would be fun! Now I need to find out where they do it here (I'm sure they do) and how serious they get with it. The ones in Cambridge were real Morris Dancers, with the costumes and all. That's a little more involved than I'd want to get.
