So you think you can WHAT?



It's that time of the year again. Yep, the dreaded "what should we do for the Christmas party" week.

Given the crazy circumstances we've been going through lately, it's nice to know that there will be a Christmas party this year. Last year was a disaster... our version of a party was a hurried lunch at the office, courtesy of Macaroni Grill Curbside pick up.

This year, though, Doc decided to make it up to us... the options included nerdy alternatives like:

  • Spending 2 hours at the Planetarium in the Museum of Science and Industry, an indoor version of a quiet dinner under the stars.
  • Another two hours at the Florida aquarium, eating seafood in front of fish and perhaps, if we are lucky, feeding the stingrays.

Little did we know that Doc would soar with inspiration. What about a cruise around the Bay with food, music and dancing. Sounds great in deed. The fear factor started creeping in when Doc went something along the lines of let's dance. Since he is flying solo these days, we all got goosebumps thinking about the man shouting CONGA! or ELECTRIC SLIDE, NOW! ( in the line of let's all have fun as a group) Let's hope and pray he catches a date or someone will be either jumping or thrown overboard.

"When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing."
Moliere, 1622

And to this I respond:

You'll dance to anything!

LOL- I'll be somewhere between the Hamster spinning the plates and the squirrel lost in the beat. They will have to give me a heck of a Cristmas bonus for me to shake it.
