Back Then Still

My KC Chum commented on yesterday's post how 30 years ago we just danced the night away and forget the whole exercise thing.

Ahh, so true. The dance in the disco WAS the exercise. Trip the light fantastic to the eight minute plus "We Are Family" or try to out Travolta John Travolta. When said dance was done, take a breather for minute or two, sip the adult beverage of choice and back to the lit dance floor for more.

Yep. When going out at 10pm was just right and to get home at 4am was right on time. Because you'd get a couple hours of sleep before heading into work. Good stuff.

So since my KC Chum conjured up sweet memories and I watched John Travolta on Letterman last night--I thought why not a little Saturday Night Fever on a Wednesday?

I mean, who cares if my going out at 10pm has been replaced with the fight between my heavy eyelids and me to last at least to 10:15pm of the 10pm News.

No matter. All is good. Cue up alittle Travolta and dance.

Toast Thursday

Had a little thunder and lightening show tonight. A bit of a cool breeze, enough to shut off the a/c. Yep, Fall is IN the air--Texas style.

I'm just glad it's Thursday. Almost Friday. Not concentrated on my job much this week. I say after the holiday I'll be more focused. Lotta stuff swim in my mind. And, oh yes--the daily 74 ounces rushed down my throat. Water does curb your appetite. I had to be honest with myself that the Earth's elixir could do the job. Took me awhile to get on that wagon train.

Ya know, I could ramble on and on. Like I enjoyed a guilty pleasure of The Patty Duke Show Reunion movie from 1999 tonight. I really don't remember the show itself--kinda young--yet, when I saw this listed on one of these gazillion channels I have, with a 4 am start date--I hit the DVR. On top of that guilty pleasure, I found a song, that I had as a 45.

Ya know--on vinyl-when dinosaurs ruled the earth and the 3 major TV network barely stayed on past midnight! A group called Tin Tin, which had some tie with the Bee Gees or at least one of the Brothers Gibb. The record, I recall was white and yellow and the song: called Toast, Marmalade For Tea...I have NO idea what that means.

And maybe that's the beauty of it. It was 1970 or so-my biggest worry was not liking orange marmalade, but complete adoration for strawberry preserves on my toast and the milk to wash it down with!

Enjoy!

Do A Little Dance

Enjoyed my first swing dance lesson last night!

The shoes I wore didn't let me pivot like I should! :( Alas, next time, may wear a little heel or socks. Even that little bit we did, made me realize how much I miss dance. That whole creative thing I finally give myself permission to let burst forth.

Just felt good! Look forward to the next one on Tuesday. And how much is this endeavor? Heck, my favorite price: FREE!

In the meantime, here's a little ditty I'd like to cue up: The Brothers Gibb aka the Bee Gees, with little brother Andy tellin' us we all should be dancing. Oh, and check out a very young Travlota doing his fancy footwork.

Bring on the weekend...enjoy!

Some 70's Feeling...

I venture to Donny.com a few times a week. I admit it. I was there during the Osmond Hey Day of the '70's. I admit I saw 26 Osmond concerts before I saw any other performer. I feared that performer wouldn't EVER be as good as the Osmonds....That next performer was...The Bee Gees, at the peak of Saturday Night Live---and to think I was scared....


Back to the Donny. com--there's a thread that some of their old LP's will be relased. My heart skipped a beat. My favorite Osmond lp--stay with me here--is Phase III. It was their 3rd album. Still way before Donny and Marie. Listen to this album. They rocked on "Business" and "My Drum" --it wasn't your tween years "One Bad Apple."

I will always wonder how the Osmonds would have been, if Donny & Marie hadn't happened. Don't get me wrong, I like D & M--yet, I just wonder....what if.....
