a very busy day, and i\u2019m about to go to rehearsal, which i\u2019m sure will be fun and very exciting, with much rousing singing of “hand me down that can of beans,” plus dancing.<\/p>\n
did i tell you about the dancing so far? we learned how to polka, except i already know how to polka. i polka\u2019d with gil, who was in “you can\u2019t take it with you” with me, and he\u2019s a very good polka-er. it was quite fun. my polka partner, andy, wasn\u2019t there, so i don\u2019t know if he can polka or not. erica assured me that he knows how; she said that he\u2019s a MUSIC teacher, so therefore he knows how. i don\u2019t know exactly why a music teacher is guaranteed to polka, but erica is in graduate school right now (even though she already HAS a master\u2019s degree), so clearly, she knows much more about what\u2019s going on than me.<\/p>\n
we also practiced sashaying across the floor. just us women, that is, the fandangos, we\u2019re called. there are two high school girls who are fandangos, and they weren\u2019t able to master the sashay or the polka, but i\u2019m sure they\u2019ll get better.<\/p>\n
tonight, perhaps we learn the can can. can\u2019t say for sure.<\/p>\n
and tomorrow, TOMORROW – mom and i are taking the train to chicago, to see “wicked.” very exciting. except that it\u2019s supposed to be only 61 with STRONG STORMS tomorrow, not such a good thing. i\u2019m bringing my umbrella.<\/p>\n
we\u2019re leaving at 6:30 a.m., and we won\u2019t get back till thursday night, and hopefully we\u2019ll have a lot of fun doing fun chicago things, but for me that would mean lots of walking around, but i don\u2019t know about the strong storms…perhaps we\u2019ll sit in the hotel room and watch tv, or we\u2019ll find a nice bar and sit around and drink margaritas.<\/p>\n
i have to pack now. lots of reading material for the train.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace who would like to travel a LOT more. this is one of my new goals in life. not really a new goal, but one that i\u2019m going to try to actually put into action, instead of just wishing that it\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
