Back by Popular Demand...

Tonight at the BYU basketball game, they had my all-time favorite half time show. It was even better than the bikers and the jumpropers--both shows that are highly entertaining. And much, much, much better than the Cougarettes who bore me before they even get out onto the court.
Today, back by popular demand, was "Jane's Golden Girls". It's a group of about 75 women ages 50-89 that do dance routines. And they are a hoot. There's just something about old ladies that makes me smile--and old ladies that dance--that's a real treat. They did a number called, "Honky Tonk Attitude". They were all dressed in cowboy attire. Their routine was much like line dancing but also included many shimmyings and high kicks. They even started taking off the ropes around their necks and danced around kind of stripper style. That was definitely a show stopper.
But, the highlight of the whole number occurred after it was all over. The ladies started exiting and they announced, "And here's Jane, 89 years young". Jane took center stage and the music came on again and she got a few minutes for a solo. She kicked and shaked and danced about ending the whole thing with the splits. The crowd went wild! Cosmo ran out, danced with her a bit, then scooped her up and carried her off. What a fun lady!
I've never been much of a dancer, but I'll definitely be counting down the days until I turn 50 and can join Jane's Golden Girls.

I can't wait either. I will definitely come out to see you perform. You were a great tap dancer back in the day.
