Finally

Finally the Dancing with the Stars champion has been crowned.  Emmett Smith won, whom was who we were pulling for.  I think he better represented what the show was about, an amateuer learning how to dance.  Mario, who was definitely a better dancer, had an unfair advantage as he had formal dance training before and it showed from the very beginning.

It pained me a bit to see Emmett wearing the sparkly green shoes with matching green armbands.  However I was happy for him to win.  Ali loves the show so I watch it primarily for her.  It is entertaining but my life would carry on just fine without it.  I know as she watches it she wishes I would be more into dancing and me knowing that makes me uncomfortable.  Ali is a great dancer and I am a lead foot.  Of all the people that danced last night I would think Tucker Carlson would be my closest match.

Today Ali leaves for another 4 day trip to PA.  She is trying to get up as much as possible because of her grandfather’s health.  It’s supposed to be quite chilly up there.

 If all goes well, we should be into the hybrid Camry before Thanksgiving.  However I am not thinking about it much.  Once it happens I will be thrilled to be in my new gadget filled, eco-friendly, spacious ride but until I am behind the wheel I am not taking anything for granted.  I am prepared for the dealer to try to change some terms right at the end and I simply won’t go for any of it. No more bullshit.

 No Nicki accidents the past two nights.  Every morning I fear seeing a dark spot in the shadows of the dimly lit floor.
