Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 28, 2013

Its the Arthur Murray School of Sidewalk Strolling ! ( I know there are a few of you who know about Arthur and Kathrine but how many remember how to do the Stroll ? )

Hello?Yoo hoo?Anybody still here?

It’s been a day and a half.Fenton, my friend….. How about a small cognac, and a Red tail back, pretty please?

Hi Bev….oh, that’s the kind of music I need!

Oh…. I was expecting just the music!

Well, at the moment, I can’t do anything else….LOLbut normally, I agree!

Oh…. Good night Bev!Sorry I’m so late.

Oh…. any chance you’re still here for a moment?

You said something before the turn…and I wanted to tell you…. Essex didn’t leave before Christmas.It feels like it…but he left February 8th.

I was here, I just couldn’t think of anything to say.G’night

I checked his profile…..I remember he said he said he’d be gone a few months…. and it’s only been about 7 weeks.

Not time to worry yet…and I hope he’ll be in touch before we do.

Come home any time, Ess!

Hey Brian!How are you?Or did you go?

I think maybe I’ll make some popcorn….anybody?

Sigh…..

Where’s Red been, anyway?Was it something I said?

And x_Tech came back the other day, but he disappeared again.

“And here we have Ted, modelling the latest look from Vervena Wastewood…..”

I think he’s been watching too many of the first cartoons. That is how they walk.

If he were young, I’d think he was just trying to keep up his pants! (For years, I tried not to criticize young fashions, but when I saw boys barely able to walk…SIGH….this is cool?)

Ted has a three star master’s rating in charades from the Academy of the Cincinnati Council of Practicing Arts; cheats in Monopoly; voted for Obama; lied about his hair loss; has secrets hidden in his sock drawer; always carries a lot of cash; been divorced three times, although he says only twice; sold insurance for a living; claims to have an off shore money market account; doesn’t remember being at the Garden Club meeting last month when all the postage stamps went missing; always goes to the court house on the third Tuesday in each month, he says he likes to attend the Planning Commissioning Meetings; says he worked in the oil industry from October of 1997 to June of 2002 and mostly lived in Mexico; claims he never traveled west of the Mississippi River; had several tattoos removed; malfunctioning doesn’t even begin to describe Ted; look at that face.

meybe its just me… ah dont no… buttah thinks Ted needs a good helpin of SuSun’s YakLoaf…. (with those green things cooked into it) Jus sayin’…. that an a nanner dakery makim wok gooder….

I remember the Murray Dance studio (my parents took classes there) and Cleese’s silly walks (have to love those).

The stroll looks like a lot of the HS dances, but I was dating older guys at the time and graduated in ’55. My scene in college was much different and too serious for this stuff (I actually smoked thru much of HS) but quit when I went to college as I wanted to be more serious.

I found my walk

You mean like this , Dogsniff?

I had Red’s first selection on while reading comments, but then started the other – think I may look or more like that to do my cardio; had to punch up the volume and get to dance (even tho my slippers aren’t suitable). I managed to dance fast enough to get my pulse to 125 (have not picked a target yet , but my man and I were discussing all that and other health and food related things just a while ago tonight, so I put the pulse and oxygen device on my finger for readings while dancing and it DOES track up and down with my movements. I’m glad to see that and will discuss w my dr. I may call him tomorrow, also to see if he wants to change my appointment so that next one will be after the whole 4 weeks of current purge/rebuild.

Ted might like to watch those bassets dance:

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

Trust me, Ted: It ain’t working.
