This story can get so long and so involved, and so so boring if I include the details, and there are tons of details. I might compose in 2 or 3 parts. The bottom line is that it cost us a ton of money which turned into summers of great Sunday pleasure and our own tango tent under the stars.
Part I.
Trying to get to the beginning of our encounter with Jerry and Randi started with a trip to NYC to see Jersey Boys with the Durkins. After that, I kept my eye on Frankie Valli on the web to see if he'd be in our area. The closest one I found was at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ. Bought the tickets, not looking forward to the 3 hour drive, and then the unexpected happened and Mike was sheduled for prostate surgery at Sloan Kettering. Frankie was put on hold.
Again I searched and found he'd be at the Mountain Laurel Center only 1 hour from our home in NE PA. Bought these tickets, but never saw FV this time either. Came really really close though.
This worked out perfectly as we were on our way that weekend (Sunday afternoon)to Russell Sage College in Troy, NY to here John Gatto speak about public- and all- education. As usual Mike checked the route on Mapquest or Google and plottted spots along the way where we just might tango if the timing was right. Packed up our small Rialta motorhome on Saturday afternoon and off we went. This was at the end of June in '07.
