Hammer Pants Dance

Very busy getting ready for big camping trip to Ohio/Tennessee/Wisconsin. Rainy and cold today, but we have to be excited about the rain because it is so unbelievably dry here. Back to the trip, trying to decide if I have enough clothes to last 10 days without doing laundry. Especially since when I'm camping, I seem to wear three outfits a day. Not sure why that is.

Anyway, friend Sheila posted this on her Facebook site and I have to share. Hopefully you've already seen some of these ads where they send a mob of trained dancers into train stations and airports to start dancing. (If you haven't, you need to. Some of the most fun and uplifting video you're likely to see. It's like what people say about musicals, that people don't just burst into highly choreographed song in the middle of real life. In these videos, it's as if they do. And the effect on the onlookers is quite something. It almost makes you think there should be non-profit groups all over that just do this everywhere. Life would be so much better, it really would be a public service.) Here's one of a group of guys doing Can't Touch This in Hammer pants at a trendy clothing store. Really funny.

Enjoy your Saturday!

[Tiny postscript: if you want a little more uplift, catch this column today by Bob Herbert in the New York Times about a wildly successful new school system in North Carolina with a lot of low income kids. Their first year of seniors are graduating, and 100% of them (48 kids) are all going to college, having been accepted by at least two colleges each.]
