Mist folks tend to be careful with their time. Sun comes up--whoops!

I haven't retained much german, but I have retained a capitalization algorithm that has a lot of bauhaus in it.

I love the dance floor, wonder why we waited so long to get one. The dark mahogany leather booth is nice as well. Roller skates, cigarette girl on roller skates, maybe some fake car booths and carhops on roller skates. wheeeee! Deb, I think you'll find roller skates much easier than ice skates. Since they don't tax you ankles to stay level, you should have no problems in making the transition.

A little vid from my 16 year old niece in Alaska.

Things like this make me glad I am still here.

Deb Prothero wrote:Thank you, magicmarty. I love ballroom dancing. It's great exercise and reminds me of a good time in my youth. I was raised in a village on the north shore of Lake Erie where the largest dance floor in North America was at the Stork Club. I danced to Guy Lombardo, Duke Ellington, Harry James and Tommy Dorsey among others. It was like I was able to snatch a piece of magic from the 40s but it happened at the end of the 70s. It was magical!

Ray Davies wrote about the dance clubs once.

forget the fake carhops on rollerskates... get the real thing.

Well got acall from my kids and they wanted me to go down there and play games again today. I spent the day there yesterday. So after having died a thousand deaths in modern warfare, and after being repeatedly run over by Mario, I am back.

Excellent, considering the fast cuts.
Her art?

Urge her to do some films with a plot.
Maybe something in hand drawn stop motion?

Have a good week at work, goathead. With talented nieces like yours, the world is in good hands indeed.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 8:22 am

Gyre; that was a wonderful video. I'd forgotten that song and had never seen the video that went with it. The dance clubs were a phenomenon for sure and I feel privileged to have experienced one of the best.

Time for coffee now. How is everyone this morning? How are your wrists, Box Burner? Kids really are the best part of Christmas, aren't they?

Had a pre New Year's Eve party last night. I'm awake but not in the land of the living at the moment. Need coffee.

Beautiful Video! Great way to start the week.

Pass the coffee

but, as long as it makes you gals happy, and, warms you.....well......I'm good with it.

This bar is always warm with the regular contributors like you, ygmir. No need for firefighters. The eye candy is nice once in a long while but the real warmth comes from your daily fire, coffee and wit.

A non-burner friend (another survivor of suicide) sent this to me today and I thought I'd share it here:

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Thanks, Deb, that is a wonderful quote for us all.

I'll drink to that!

It seemed appropriate at this time of year and the way I was feeling - straining for the positive, right now and gathering wisdom from wherever it may come. Like Risky always says "Only pay attention to what you want."

Oh, let's see, your attitude determines your altitude; if you want to keep getting what you're getting, then keep doing what you're doing.

I got a million of 'em.

Have a happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 11:10 am

We might get drunk if we toast to every positive thought, Ugly Dougly! But I'm game to try to keep up.

This week between Christmas and New Year's has always been a time of reflection for me and seems to set the tone for the coming year. I hope 2010 will be an all round better year for everyone!
