Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!

Re: Season 26 Off and Running....
iamvalc: besides seeing my lady shine tonight, this was definitely my highlight. Being a lifelong basketball fan, a fan of African American culture, and American History period meeting this man in person meant a great deal to me. We didn’t have a lengthy chat, as much as I wish we did, even being in his presence I felt very lucky. Kareem is beyond a legendary basketball player, in fact scoring more points than ANY other player in history. For the kids, yes that’s more than Lebron, or Jordan, or Kobe. This man is not just a legend on the court but was even more epic off of it, being a role model and an activist for his community.

Funny how playing pick up ball all those years as a kid hiding the fact that I was a dancer… I’ve now crossed paths with a hoop legend… on my court, the ballroom.

Just watched the show.....and here is my assessment of Tom's comment on "the shy, retiring Alan.". Like you all, my first thought was about retiring from the job! Once I considered the other modifier, which was "shy", it was obvous that in context "retiring" would mean "reserved" (i.e. the same thing as "shy"). Tom was being facetious when he made the comment. So pretty sure Alan is not retiring from dancing!!! LOL
Hope that clarifies the meaning.Thanks Jet. I didn't hear the "shy" part when watching. It is amazing how much a person misses seeing or hearing. It is no wonder why witnesses often have different versions. LOL
If you all hadn't mentioned it in the chat, I wouldn't have been looking for any "hidden" meaning, if you will!! I gathered from the context and how Tom said it that Alan must be a pretty outgoing guy with a lively personality. Tom was clearling joking with him.
I was disappointed that Tonya survived the elimination. I thot she was quite a pathetic character....unfortunately kind've confirming all the baggage from the past!. Was also surprised that Kareem was very stiff and didn't really seem to move well. I expected him to show more athleticism! That being said, I realize his BB career likely took a toll on his body...and dunno how long ago he had cancer (so glad he is still with us, tho). All that being said, I was reminded that sometimes the exceptionally tall BB players (who always play center!) are not the best players in part because of their "giraffe" status!! They just have to stand under the basket and wait for someone like Magic Johnson to pass the ball to them!!! LOL. I do remember, now that I recall watching the Lakers in those days, that was pretty much how Kareem managed to score all those points!! LOL. It was not on agility or ball handling!!! Thinking that he may take an early and gracious bow. Hope he is enjoying his time, tho.
I am glad you wrote this Jet. I was feeling like I was a bit harsh on Tonya with my comments last night. LOL I thought she did well in her dance, but she just does not come off well when she talks. 
Gabriele, hope you have internet service and have seen the dances. I would be very interested on your take with Tonya. I didn't follow skating back then until the "why cry" was heard around the world. LOL Anyway, did you follow skating back then? What are your thoughts?

CEK, I was a bit worried that something happened because you hadn't posted any news this morning. I am glad that everyone is "holding their own". I know that it must be hard waiting to find out the results. HUGS

Thanks Luv...I had some things I needed to get done on the computer today but you know how that goes. I don't know what was the problem but I am just glad I could get on last night our I would have been really "not happy"
Yes I hate playing the waiting game, but I am hoping that no news is good news...
HUGS
