Little oven fire in I building. Lotsa smoke but all is well. Seems like someone didn't know to keep an eye on the stove when broiling.

This morning: dentist, errands, home by noon

It's a beautiful mornin',Ahhh, I think I'll go outside a while,An jus' smile.
...Just take in some clean fresh air, boy!
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time.
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
Either way,
It's a beautiful mornin'--The Rascals

50 Years of Twistory

newspaper ad, originally uploaded by ujima.

A brilliant day! I never knew The Geator was so tiny! Chubby sang and danced for 45 minutes. If you didn't get there early,you didn't get the free shirt. My tiny neighbor,Sue,was late and didn't get a shirt but so happy to be so close to the stage! Shel was chosen from our crowd of friends to dance on the stage and did great! They took a film of the crowd twisting to send to the Guinness Book of Records to see if we broke the record for number of people twisting in a crowd. A representative of the mayor presented Chubby with the city's welcome award and trophy. When we left, he was still at a table signing autographs after 30 minutes and the line was still about 30 minutes long!!
