Sort of a quiet day around here

and hard for me to catch up to LB.

Who's got something good to talk about? Politics not allowed - sorry.
Shoes would be OK though.

I saw TINA TURNER in concert on Friday night in Chicago!

She looked good.

She sang great.

She started on time.

She danced a little.

She performed for nearly 2.5 hours with only one 30 minute break.

I saw Oprah and Tom Cruise there.

Through my binoculars as they did not come up to Row 42 in Section 306.

On Saturday I saw NOTRE DAME win. Not pretty, but a win.

Yup, a good weekend.

I have a shoe Q.

But it might be more up SC's alley.

These Dancing with the Stars people. Obviuosly they have to have good shoes. So, do they wear the same shoes and sort of cut and paste decorations?

I don't know how the women manage to do those dances in those shoes with the killer high heels. I'm impressed, that's for sure.

I was just informed that he is now playing both offensive and defensive line along with the Kick return team. He said he got really close to a sack. And no penalties this week.

We have a full roster, they even cut some kids at the start, so they must think he is playing well.

Playing both sides of the line is usually a pretty good sign he's doing OK. :)

No penalties is good too!

Okay, I know this is going to sound strange, but I tend to watch the dancers' feet without ever focusing in on their shoes.
I wouldn't be surprised if the shoes (for both men and women) were custom-made. If that's not the case, there is a surprisingly large array of neutral-colored and dyeable ready-made dance shoes available, particularly for ballroom dancers. This show has a large costume design staff and budget, so I know nothing goes on the dancers' feet by chance.

Now I'll start paying attention to more shoes.

That's a VERY good sign he's playing well.

Go Team1111!

Okay, maybe not Cloris's shoes.
