Ballet
I seem to ponder about weird things as I get older. One lady from
Connecticut wrote and told me on the weekend she was going to the ballet. I
told her we couldn’t go anywhere on Saturday night with the TV show “COPS”
on. That’s a tradition here in the South( some people have every episode in
their safe deposit box). Besides there is a good possibility we might find a
lost relative. How in the world do these ballet people stand on just their
big toe on one foot, and spin around. I told my wife it must be hard for
the men just to get in those ballet long johns. She said, “You couldn’t”,
well duh, I knew that. I would need some polyester long johns. Just my luck
I would wind up with a female partner who weighs as much as I do. I told
Joyce that I don’t think I can hold a 209 pound woman over my head, with
one
arm and twirl around on one toe without getting dizzy. My wife said, ” You
get dizzy when you get up out of your lazyboy too fast”. True, if it were
not for Joyce ’s better judgment I would probably try something that could
hurt me. I may be too old for ballet lessons anyway, even though I could use
the exercise. I guess I could check with my chiropractor, I have an
appointment next week. I think I might wait and see if I’m able for such an
endeavor before I put any money down, besides they may have a “No Refunds”
policy. I would hate to be stuck with a brand new pair ballet long johns, I
presume they come with the lessons. Another thing you might avoid wasting
your money on, is I. D. callers for your phone. I have never caught anyone
at home who has one. That thing is just not perfected yet seems to me.
