Hello everyone and how are you all doing?  In case anyone noticed I took the night off and techie kept it alive by posting the last pictures in my phone, and yes it was his turn to cook so hot dogs and beans. He is very easy to please, as that is one of his favorites. He is really very adept with a can opener. So as we were enjoying our really romantic Saturday night dinner, MacGyver was getting a playlist on spodify, he has even taught me how to do it, so learned something new under quarantine. We were loving the music and then it was really heading to some stuff that even I thought was really, really old, and I wondered why it was reading our taste incorrectly?  No worries techie to the rescue and we were back into our groove. I can remember back when I was driving in my car and a great song would come on and I be bopping and singing in my seat. I would be thinking, man I love this station and then the DJ comes on, and says you are listening to the Oldies station, and there you go deflated ,and yes, you are not that cool. Well we cranked up the music last night and no one seemed to mind and not sure if anyone is home, in this building. Probably thought the old people were throwing a ripper but no just the two of us, and we moved the coffee table out of the way so we could have a dance party, because everyone knows I love to dance and my roommate would rather chew glass.  True story when techie and I first got together we were at a club that was playing live music that just made you want to dance, and I couldn’t convince him to dance with me, like I said he finds it painful. Anyway being the guy he is and seeing how much I wanted to dance, he turns to the guy next to him, and says excuse me will you dance with my sister?  I spent the next hour of one of our first dates dancing with a stranger, and made for a very memorable time.  Well now we have our own private dance parties and he is trying very hard to almost look like he is enjoying it.  

I am listening right now to songs from the late sixties and seventies and reminds me how great your life used to be growing up in that time, and I can only hope that someday a carefree life will once again be possible. We went today to watch my grandson launch his first rocket that he built with his dad, something Techie used to do a lot with our son so he was super excited to learn that Charlie loved building it and in fact Uncle Max sent it to him. The plan was to meet at a parking lot on the Tufts campus, they live close by, but when we arrived there was police tape and couldn’t enter the field. I suggested just go under the tape but these kids aren’t rule breakers, I don’t know how I failed them. I actually once got a call from my son’s kindergarten teacher because she couldn’t get Max to follow the rules and he told her, my Mom says rules are made to be broken.  I told her he was taking it out of context, but secretly I was very proud of him.  I am sure he has broken a lot of rules since then and I hope Charlie breaks a few as well, but not today.  They scouted a different field and it was totally empty and set up the launch pad. But it really wasn’t big enough and we lost a few rockets as the wind carried them away, but the launch was awesome. So if anyone out there is reading this and rocket landed on your head today in Medford I have no idea where it came from or who it belonged to…….

Just sayin…..
