Southwestern US Trip

That's one big hole in the ground. If I haven't said this before, Tany, you do mighty fine work. Congrats. Any idea what the ankle-grab is about?

No, that's not it. If she had gone through a number of positions in sequence (Crois, Arabesque, Pli, Pirouette then ending with Grande Jet) then, yes, nutjob. But I've been staring at that picture (on and off) for days and she hasn't moved one bit.I'm thinking nutjob apprentice or nutjob wannabe.

Well, thank you. Thank you very much. I took all that time wrapping a story around a not-so-subtle joke and you didn’t FOFL or LOL or even chuckle. I even googled (or rather DuckGoGoDuck’d — How does one make DuckDuckGoDuck into a verb?) ballet positions to give the setup a bit of snap. But, nooo! You did see the joke? How I stared at the picture and the lady never moved? It’s a picture, Tany. It’s not supposed to move, see? That’s the joke, or was supposed to be.Now I’m left empty. Hollow. A good joke fallen flat. An ignored joke. A joke with no future, no appreciation, no levity.I am taken low. Lower than wait for it the bottom of the Grand Canyon with a ballerina falling on me. Sometimes you really gotta reach for these things.

Ditto on the Coyote.
