Ivi returns to Seattle … But not before securing an appropriate pair of boots. Soon Olivia will be departing for Northern California, and Marina will be rejoining her dance troupe for another season of national touring. Bonus News: Marina leaves us with several GBs of professionally-filmed videos from last season, not for publication but for our private viewing — so you are invited over if you like ballroom dancing, exquisitely executed.

From Wikipedia: The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with a given server, but the server could not find what was requested. The web site hosting server will typically generate a “404 Not Found” web page when a user attempts to follow a broken or dead link; hence the 404 error is one of the most recognizable errors encountered on the World Wide Web.
