On "THAT DAY" and "THAT HEADLINE," I'm posting Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing videos all day long

I don't know if we will WAKE UP to the good news or if it will happen while we're going about our everyday activities.

But when I see THAT HEADLINE, I'm going to go the NON-VERBAL POSTING ROUTE.

LOTS of CLIPS of Fred & Ginger.

DANCING.

And I will be dancing along with them.

Well, maybe hammered isn't quite the word; a champagne-drunk is one of the more pleasant ways of being intoxicated. But we're going all-in on the celebrating.

trust me, you'll be able to find the place. I'm talking searchlights flashing across the sky, fireworks, a band, jet flyovers, high-kicking Rockettes lining the road, you name it.

The DAY after, when I have my hang-over and regret the revelry of the preceding day, I will find time to curse his wretched existence the entire day... but I won't be unhappy any longer!

Even if TSF kicks the bucket before then, Repugs will still be in control of the White House (and TSF's potential replacements are WORSE in many ways).

But on that date, they will ALL be gone.

I don't think we ever danced together though (me and her niece) but we were in some theatre and choral music productions together. I also took voice lessons from her mom, nice people. As a vocal exercise her mom made me lay flat on the floor in her studio and said loudly "use it" talking about breathing and vocalizing together or something. Not sure I ever figured that out...funny though.
