We've decided on the Cha Cha Cha...

Last night, I was watching an all-time favorite TV program of mine, Dancing With the Stars. Why? Because even though I might seem like Scarecrow Klutz, underneath this 'not-so-suave' exterior resides Mr. Dancing Fool. But I knew from past experience,a lot of practice went into their routine to make it look so effortless.
And Florence Henderson, who is the same age category as me, looked like she was having a blast. I was amazed at her agility and ability...to still have fun!

While sitting having my coffee I had an 'aha' moment! I love to dance, I have a whole 1st floor apartment that I can convert to my 'dance studio' and the only thing that's missing (since Sleeping Beauty took her 'Siesta') is a partner. So I figured that if I hired Miss Fearless Dustcloth, we could then squeeze a lot of practice time in and still have a life! Kill two birds with one stone. (That's an expression I use, 'cause I don't kill birds.)

Now all we needed to do is pick a dance and some music. But I figured until we got the rhythm down we'd have to copy some moves. So I flew to YouTube and looked for a couple that 'knew what they were doing.' Because we sure didn't. I'll have to lead and Miss Dustcloth will have to follow. But with a little work and a lot of fun in the future, I think we're going to be an A+ amazing team. We had our first 'practice session' this morning.

This is the couple who have a lot of wiggle in their waggle...and took my guesswork out of it...I guess.




Move over Flo...here we go! John and Miss Dustcloth are doing the Cha cha cha...

It only happens in the movies....???

I've found out (through a source I won't divulge...'cause I forgot who it was), that I could watch TV and movies for free on Hulu.  Now, with the price being with my 'range of affordabilty', I decided to check it out.  At first I went through the 'learning stage'.  I had to, like most other sites I come across, learn to navigate.  Since boating is not one of my skills, it was NOT smooth sailing at first. I found out, that without a TV service I could keep up with my favorite 'soap operas'.  And that's what I started doing.  But curiosity got the best of me.  One day I accidentally clicked on 'Korean drama' and a whole new world opened up to me.  Another country is into 'soaps' too!  Did I surrender to my curiosity?  Do bears do 'do do' in the woods?   But since I don't speak the language, I read the dialogue (I love to read and I do it fast) in order to know what's going on.  Through these 'adventures' I

What's a...serious side?

Once in awhile, I stop trying to develop my own 'character' (which is like trying to stop a flood with my bare hands), and work on developing 'fictional characters'. So I go to the my Mind Gym for a workout...it's fun there and a great way to exercise. Mental gymnastics? Dumbells included? Gosh, I'd be right at home. Anyhoo, I took a writing class awhile back (I can see 'disbelief' written all over your face), and worked with fantasy characters like: Mortimer P Snodgrass, the fly on the wall, etc. I won't elaborate 'cause Sylvia says once in awhile I can be a little 'over the top'. One day, I was sitting thinking (which I find is relaxing) and the idea struck me...."Why don't you try writing something 'different, dummy." Trust me...my imagination and me had a 'discussion' about that one later. I don't like being struck. I wrote this. Why am I posting it? Dunno. Why not? It goes like this... Lost

My roller skating sweater...

     Now I'm at a crossroads.  Should I toss my team sweater... or get out the sewing basket and stitch up the seam and sew a few buttons on?   Most guys would toss it 'cause the ones I know don't have the time to bother or the skill necessary to accomplish that 'feat'.  And girls probably would be easier than guys (I'm just guessing at that one) to vote for the garbage can if they knew how long I had it.  1979?  34 years?       But when it's washed, my cardigan looks like new.  I've worn it every year I had it and it's been a 'good friend' to me when I've been cold...which is part of my nature.  Brrrrrrrr.  Originally, the dark blue sweater had my name stitched on the front and a patch announcing 'King's Skate Country' on the back.  All the members of the roller skating team had one for the occasions we had to separate the sheep from the group that weren't part of the team.  Did I just refer to myself as a...sheep?  Oh
