Far Out FANTASY

To make the day a little more interesting my far out fantasy might evolve. Just say, some famous person, maybe someone like Jaques D'Ambois, who I saw in the movie "Every Little Step" at the Kirby Center last week with Mike and Cathie, would call me on the phone this afternoon. Someone like Jaques D'Ambois, who I've deeply admired all my life and was an inspiration to my teaching and thinking.
Maybe Mike would answer the phone and say, "Hola" Cup his hand over the phone and say something like, "There's some kind of character on the phone for you."
And so if it really was JD, I would have said, " My husband said that you were some kind of a (ha-ha) character." And he would have said, "Maybe he is the character." From there the conversation might turn to tango, and Charlotte, and life and dance and more tango and the tent. A hint of mutual admiration might creep in, but that would really be stretching the fantasy. With another invitation to join us on a Sunday and a little more talk the call would end and I would go back, with a smile, to the rest of my day with the "character" who really exists. Then again..... if he did take the time to call, Mr. D'Ambois would fill my days with smiles, but, of course, why would he call me- a usually frazzled woman in a little rural town in NE PA who wants to tango.
