Dontcha love Gocha?

Since the series first aired on TLC, Friday nights, in October, I think it was, I've been following Ballroom Bootcamp. The show features the same three dance instructors, each week, Gocha, Chris and Susana, who are assigned a new (average Joe/Jane) student who has never danced before, and have just 5 weeks to train them well enough to dance in the Yankee Ballroom Dance Competition in Boston, or Baltimore, I forget which place. Gocha, the striking and flamboyant Russian fascinates me. At times he's a hardass, at times he seems like a moody, petulant, hot-headed drama queen, and at times a soft-hearted sweetiepie. His Russian wife/dancer, Shorena, is also on the show.

Did you read that someone stole Gregory Peck's star from Hollywood's walk of fame? They did it using a cement saw--just cut the star right out of the sidewalk. How was this not noticed? Any time of the day or night there should have been someone around to have seen/heard this happen. Strange. Atticus Finch, (Gregory), star in or star out, you'll shine on!

Missed a month of posting to this blog. Nobody but my anonymous spammer will have noticed. :)

Thanksgiving dinner was marvelous. Nothing else to report. One word. COLD. It has been freaking cold this month. I can remember a couple of years ago when it was almost HOT on Christmas Day. I don't think so this year.

Over and out.

Thanks, Larry Harris, for the Merlot, the backpack, and the mini Tai Chi lesson!
