I don't have to have
a cat ON a bike.
Just a cat.
And a bike.
Separately.
But given all of those things (for which I gotta be grateful as hell), the one thing I really miss is being able to go to a restaurant (a good one, hopefully, but at this point, I'd almost go for fish sticks, soggy onion rings, a juke box and lukewarm beer), sit down and order DUCK or something special, a great wine, and just luxuriate! In the savoring and conversation and relaxation. THAT'S what I miss. I could give a hoot for beaches or concerts...even theatre (which is a wonderful thing, don't get me wrong!), but restaurants are heaven, and having friends to share food and drink with is a marvelous thing. You and Me, sitting, sipping, sampling. That's what I want again.
Looking forward...
I know it'll happen. Just tapping my foot, twiddling my thumbs, and pretending to do a puzzle in the wings til then.
But meanwhile, it can be You and Me time on the radio, right? From a yen/yearn to a 2 On The Aisle theme, at the snap of an unmanicured finger. Sooooo many Yous, soooo many Mes! I had to filter, winnow, cut (with compassion), weigh, and weed to come up with this playlist. I just know I've left out a favorite or 70, but what's a dame to do with a mere 2 hours of air time? From a Victor/Victoria soft shoe to a Lucy Schmeeler "Ya Got Me" vamp, we can pretend we're in the same room, closer than 6 feet apart, not a mask in sight, and dipping on the dance floor. Tres risque and risk-y, but not ON THE RADIO!
Lucy and Gabby, a little too close.
So half of this Sunday's show is YOU. Half of Sunday's show is ME. And the remaining half (fractions, anyone?) is You AND Me. Hopefully these pronouns (and this New Math) will start a trend and we'll be confabulating (and accurately calculating) soon. Over brewskis or margaritas, it matters not. I'll get the pate, you can order a jello mold for all I care. Calling for reservations soon!
