What can I say.....the new Dancing With the Stars season has started, and I'm right here, watching with just as much enjoyment as I have watched the previous 2 seasons. Some people, I'm sure, will be surprised to know that I'm a devotee of "Dancing." Others, who know that I harbored hidden desires to be a Solid Gold dancer back in the early 80s know that behind my staid, English teacher demeanor is someone who LOVES to dance, and would have loved even more, to be a dancer on ice!! Along with those two passions (hidden and unrealized) I would have loved to swim on a synchronized swim team.
So....there you have it. I'm trying hard to accept the fact that sychronized swimming, professional dancing and figure skating, along with roller derby, are probably not in the cards for me (at least in this lifetime.) Of course....I could, perhaps, start a "bucket list" and take some steps toward at least TRYING some of these hidden desires.......
Lest anyone think that I have lived an unfulfilled life because of what I've written above, that is not the case. I will let my earlier blog entries, as well as those to come reveal the generally interesting, and sometimes even exciting life I lead!! Why, just a week ago today, I was at the Boston Flower Show with three of my best friends, and that was even better than watching Dancing With the Stars!!

You rock, Kay! I would never call your life dull....though I have to admit that I did not know about these secret yearnings.....
As a fellow former Sunday night Solid Gold Dancer I can attest to my mother's desire. Many an evening was spent with scarves wrapped around our necks, gettin' our groove on in the living room save for any gold lamee, belted leotards.
Roller Derby...I can see it now, or wait, maybe I envision the phonecall from the ER...
