Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Okay Girls, Now you are talking my language. Dancing. I learned how to Fox Trot when I was 15 and just kept learning! I love the Rhumba, Lindy (much slower then I used to do it) Cha Cha, Merange (only know two steps to the Merange but it is fun), Waltz (Only so-so) Polka (Only after a couple of drinks) and the Charleston. Did the Charleston in the Lobby of the Hotel Astor duting an American Legion Convention and brought the house down. Learned and grew up on the big bands. There was a deli on 5th ave between 11th & 12th streets called Kahlers(spelling?) Richie Kahler, the deli owners son, had a band which I used at many affairs when I was social director of a teen age group even had them at my own wedding reception. They were terriffic. Went to dances all over Brooklyn including the 9th St YMCA. Unfortuneatly age & illness has slowed me down and my wife gets nervous when I want to really let go. We used to go to Line Dances down here, They are fun too. Old Goat

Seems like something is going on around the blog.
I too haven't felt well for a long time. Going to do
an ultrasound tomorrow morning. I slept till 10:45am
this morn, and passed on my Zumba class.

Believe it or not I am praying it is my gallbladder and
nothing else more serious that has returned. I won't
even put the 'c' word out there, even though that's what
keeps me up at night.


Catch up w/ya along the way..... Going to try to eat
something..

Have a blessed day all; and safe travels Janet and Jimbo.

Remember:
WHEN YOU ARE FEELING DOWN, LOOK UP! HE IS THERE.....

Love,
F

xxx

i'm thinkin of u franny, and prayers dat it's even a more simpler thing than gallbladder, even though today, taking the damn thing out is so much easier than when i had it taken out 25 years ago...

good luck tomorrow!
lv ya xx
