What a schmoozer.😀

The 105 year old decrepit "schmoozer" was well schooled by one of Marion's friends. By the way, will she be there?

I will certainly advise her although I'm pretty sure she'll wonder why I hadn't asked her instead of lolof.

From what I've read, you've been dancing the Errand Foxtrot and Honey Do Weekend Waltz with Marion for years. lol

"...everyone know how to dance."

At the first dance party I ever went to, my partner and I won the dance contest. (We were just friends.) I won a comb suitable for a crew cut, which I didn't have. The dance was organized by moms in a backyard patio, moms who as an adult I realized were reliving their youth; my mom gave birth to me when she was 41 so was she over all that with her first borns.

I had (have) a sister 2 years older than I who taught me to dance. Her girlfriends liked to dance with me when they were over at our house because, I think, I was safe, but I was not their brother. Foxtrot, more or less. Later, in high school, on rainy days phys ed was conducted on the basketball court with mixed classes, and we learned the bossa nova, cha cha, and more foxtrot. There again, I noticed female teachers liked to come in and watch, and dance a bit on the sidelines.

Now we get to vicariously experience these first steps.

"I have a neighbour, a widow 92 years old, who calls me when she needs some help with something or other. I, being 20+ years her junior and at home most days, am only too happy to help her out. She has three sons, but the closest lives about 10km away and they all work. She is forever apologizing for being such a "pain" and I tell her , "Marion, if I'm able to help I'm more than happy to." Her needs can be anything from needing a drive to an appointment to her not being able to get her TV to work and everything in between. Are any of you in my shoes?"

It's funny to watch all the old fogies 'flirting' with each other.

Yes, and some of us were more wasted than others, as I recall.
